6. Stephen King – Bangor, Maine
When someone thinks about horror stories, the first author that comes to mind is often Stephen King. He has published 54 novels, which have sold over 350 million copies. He was an anti-Vietnam war activist and many of his stories have been adapted to movies and television.
Although he’s originally from Portland, he now lives in Bangor. The city inspired him to write It, and was the setting for many of his movies, including Langoliers and Pet Sematary. His house is a famous touristic attraction, surrounded by a black wrought-iron fence and decorated with spiders, bats, and reptiles.
