Stephen King Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Stephen King has been making headlines again this week in ways that will have long-term echoes in his biography. In a series of recent interviews and widely circulated social media posts, King doubled down on his reputation as America’s outspoken master of horror, not just for the page but in the cultural conversation. Just these past few days, in a sit-down with The Sunday Times referenced and amplified by Fox News, King predicted that one of the signature legacies of Trump’s presidency will be denial: he said decades from now, supporters would pretend they never voted for him. According to King, future generations will try to erase their Trump support just as fans sometimes exaggerate being at cultural touchstones like Bobby Thomson’s famous home run. King didn’t stop there—he wrote on X, where he boasts nearly 7 million followers, that Trump and “his greedhead cronies” risk being swept away by a blue wave in the next election, stirring up both intense debate and support from his audience and critics alike, as reported by AOL and Fox News.
On MSNBC and in conversation with Ali Velshi for Velshi Banned Book Club, King called Trump “dangerous” and reiterated his view that even a third term for the former president would be a national “horror story.” The author’s ongoing critiques position him as a major literary voice in the political landscape, regardless of whether you see him as a romantic optimist or an agitator, as pointed out by The Independent and AS USA.
Biographically, a landmark development this week is the movie adaptation of King’s very first completed novel, “The Long Walk.” Finally hitting the big screen after more than 60 years, the film, directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Mark Hamill, is getting national attention on NPR, KUOW, and other outlets. King showed rare public involvement by approving key creative choices, such as reducing the number of teen walkers and tweaking their required speed but insisting the film not shy away from the existential stakes and violence of the original story. This premiere marks not only a resurgence of King’s early work but also cements his adaptability across generations as his earliest creations find new audiences.
Although no blockbuster business activity or major new book deals have been reported in the past 24 hours, the social media buzz continues as King’s commentary and long-awaited film projects keep him in the public eye. And with “The Long Walk” now in theaters and his political statements gaining fresh traction, Stephen King remains a defining cultural force, still writing his own story in real-time.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
