Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother.
Stephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. A brilliant dark-hued fable of the gender wars, a haunting love story, and a hold-your-breath-until-you-gasp triumph of suspense, Rose Madder is Stephen King at his electrifying best. Steven King’s peerless imagination and storytelling genius have captivated a huge audience over twenty years of bestsellerdom. For Rosie to survive, for her to have a chance in her brave new world, she must enter her own myth-a world that lies beyond the surface of a work of art-and become a woman she never knew she could be: Rose Madder. Rose-maddened and on the rampage, Norman Daniels becomes a force of relentless terror and savageness, a man almost mythic in his monstrosity. The fact that he’s losing his mind might even be an advantage. Her husband is a cop, with instincts of a predator. Still, it’s hard for Rosie not to keep looking over her shoulder, and with good reason. It may be bad art but it’s perfect for her new apartment-and somehow, it seems to want her as much as she wants it. Meeting Bill Steiner is one and finding a junk-shop painting is another. She’ll worry about all the rest later.Īlone in a strange city, she begins to make a new life, and good things start to happen. She uses her husband’s ATM card to buy a bus ticket, determined to lose herself in a place where Norman won’t find her. Roused by a single drop of blood on the bedsheet, Rosie Daniels wakes from fourteen years of a nightmare marriage and suddenly takes flight. An alternate cover edition can be found here
