  • A Glance at Stephen King's Life
    Appendix: I A Glance at Stephen King’s Life Illustration 20: Stephen King 182 Stephen Edwin King was born on September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine, USA, to Donald Edwin King and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury. When he was two years old, his father (born David Spansky) deserted his family and Ruth raised Stephen and his brother David by herself, sometimes under great financial strain. The family moved to Ruth’s home town of Durham, Maine but also spent brief periods in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Stratford, Connecticut. King attended Durham Elementary Grammar School and then nearby Lisbon High School. He has been writing since an early age. When in school, he wrote stories plagiarised from what he’d been reading at the time, and sold them to his friends. This was not popular among his teachers, and he was forced to return his profits when this was discovered. From 1966 to 1970, King studied English at the University of Maine at Orono. There, King wrote a column in the school magazine called “King’s Garbage Truck”. At the university, he also met Tabitha Spruce who he married in 1971. King took on odd jobs to pay for his studies. One of them was at an industrial laundry, from which he drew material for the short story “The Mangler”. This period in his life is readily evident in the second part of Hearts in Atlantis After finishing his university studies with a Bachelor of Science in English and obtaining a certificate to teach high school, King took a job as an English teacher at Hampden Academy in Hampden, Maine.

  • Gothic Remembering in Stephen King's “It Grows on You”
    COPAS—Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies Issue 15.1 (2014) Gothic Remembering in Stephen King’s “It Grows on You” Thorsten Burkhardt ABSTRACT: This article introduces the notion of gothic remembering as a means to conceptualize hauntings in a small-town setting. It emphasizes the breakdown of a normative construction of communal past by focusing on the remembrance of abject images and semiotic processes of signification that undermine communal strategies of closure and thus lead to gothic hauntings. KEYWORDS: gothic; small-town; abjection; semiotic; remembering; Stephen King Introduction The preoccupation with everyday places and their past has a longstanding tradition in American gothic fiction. As Robert Mighall remarks, the conflation of place, past, and its destabilization is so intrinsic that it becomes a defining feature of an entire mode of writing (54-55). It is so intrinsic that, among others, Eric Savoy bases his theory of the American gothic upon this representational feature. He poignantly writes: Poe’s House of Usher, Hawthorne’s Custom House, James’s house on the “jolly corner,” Sutpen’s Hundred, Stephen King's Castle Rock, and Capote’s Kansas farmhouse are structures whose solid actuality dissolves as they accommodate […] a psychic imperative – the impossibility of forgetting. (9) The examples Savoy uses all deal with individual houses, except for one. King’s Castle Rock is a fictional town that, in the context of Savoy's theory, contains the same amount of historical gothicness as an individual structure. The haunted house in Stephen King’s Castle Rock is replaced by the haunted town as a gothic site.
