Stephen King: Grand Master
Stephen King, the grand master of suspense and an international best-selling author, has been chosen to receive the highest award bestowed on an individual by Mystery Writers of America: the coveted Grand Master Award.
The annual Grand Master Award represents the pinnacle of achievement in the mystery field and was established to recognize not only important contributions to the mystery field over time but also a significant output of consistently high quality.
"As Grand Master, Stephen King is the natural successor to Edgar Allan Poe," says Reed Farrel Coleman, Executive vice president of Mystery Writers of America. "King is that rare jack all trades who masters all he attempts. He is a fearless writer."
King is an award-winning author of more than 30 books including "Misery," "The Colorado Kid," "Dolores Claiborne," "Gerald's Game" and "Secret Window, Secret Garden." His latest novel, "Lisey's Story," is set for release Oct. 24.
