J. R. R. Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, and Frank Herbertare some of the most well-known authors who have had their work adapted with great success and on multiple occasions. However, none of them compares to Stephen King's prolific streak. With over 60 novels and hundreds of short stories, King's works have graced the cinema and television screens of millions of viewers. Most of them have frightened us, yet others have been touching, dramatic stories mostly devoid of horror, such as The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption. Yet, when it comes to King's horror work, despite the almost countless narratives, there is a disturbing consistency among many of his tales. Many of them focus on the suffering of children, placing them as either the protagonist or focusing on a parent attempting to protect their child from greater evils. In doing so, King immediately raises the stakes by focusing on the vulnerable, as well as displaying how children think differently from adults, allowing them to learn and grow more from a horrifying predicament.
