Stephen King "The Body"
Â
Stephen King
Gordie Lachance and his three friends are always ready for an adventure. So when a boy dies out in the forest, it's a chance to see something they have never seen in their lives: a dead body. But for the four boys, their journey will teach them as much about life as about death. As they face the dangers on their way, they begin to learn what it is to grow up - and nothing will ever be the same for them again.
Stephen King is one of the world's highest-earning writers of horror novels. There are over 150 million copies of his horror novels in print and the films made of his books. The Body is different from most of King's work. It is not a horror story, although there are a few unpleasant moments. It is based on his own childhood in Maine, and shows a softer side of his imagination.
