Stephen King’s Short Stories List
Stephen King is one of the most popular prolific authors working today. Many people think his career began in 1974 with the publication of Carrie, the story about a telekinetic girl getting her revenge on her bullying classmates, but his publishing career actually began in 1965 with the publication of the short story “I Was a Teenage Grave Robber.” Since then, Stephen King has published hundreds of short stories. Most of them have been collected in his own collections, but many have not. Some instead are available in individual short story anthologies or magazines. Many of these short stories have been adapted in feature length movies, episodes in television series’ or web episodes. It is truly amazing how many of his works have been adapted through the years, many are still available to the public.
A lot of the adaptations, however, aren’t available to the public. This is mainly because they were filmed as Dollar Babies. Dollar Babies are short films based on certain short stories and the filmmakers are not allowed to make a profit from the film or make it available to the public. Generally, Dollar Babies are very film school projects or film festivals.
Below is a very detailed list of almost every short story Stephen King has published and the relevant (available) adaptation. This is the perfect list if you would like to grow your Stephen King movie and/or your short story collection.
