Stephen King
Stephen King made the ordinary terrifying. A prom dress, a family car, a quiet town in Maine, in his hands the everyday becomes the doorway to something that should not be there. Since Carrie in 1974 he has written more than sixty novels and reshaped what popular fiction is allowed to feel like.
Horror is only half of it. Underneath the supernatural is a writer obsessed with childhood, addiction, grief and the small decencies that hold people together. That is why the scares land: you believe in the people long before the lights go out.
