Stephen Kings' mind is probably very twisted yet very interesting judging by the stories he wrote. His creativity probably came from his childhood.

He would often play cruel pranks on his brother that would scare him for days, but these pranks where not normal childhood pranks, they where very much thought out and most likely took a lot of time to prepare. In his free time, when he was not trying to scare his brother, he liked to write. He often wrote short stories, coming up with one scary monster after another.

The two books that I read by Stephen King are part one of The Green Mile: The Two Dead Girls, and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.
