does anyone know any cultural influences about stephen king thanks?

Answer 1

American.

Answer 2

You mean what has been influenced by Stephen King? Not sure exactly what you're looking for.

One of the big things now that's been influenced by Stephen King, I think, is the series "Lost" - Stephen King himself is a huge fan of the show, and they even gave him kudos on the show by having his book "Carrie" make an appearance in the Season 3 premiere of the show.

Answer 3

He grew up in Maine, which is extremely rural, back-woodsish small-townish and mostly beautiful. The people there are fiercely independent, but for the most part not well educated. Probably they are to some extent superstitious, which may be why he focuses on the dark side of things. Of course he could have been smoking that stuff in college. Those were the days.
Anyway, he has a tremendously original talent, which cannot be ascribed to "cultural influences".

Answer 4

Cultural, I´m sorry, can´t get anything cultural about his books. But still, I think it´s obvious for his reader that he´s got some influence froom the countryside of the US, for he´s always talking about Maine, some of his characters live there, well I think that´s about it, I think he´s too mainstream to be related to anything cultural other than what I´ve just pointed out...

Answer 5

You should read 'Dance Macbre' and/or 'On Writing', both by King...in them he details many of his influences

Answer 6

I remember that King said he first knew he wanted to be a writer, when, as a child, he read Dr Doolittle.
