Apt Pupil
In 1982, King published "Different Seasons", a collection of four novellas with a more serious dramatic bent than the horror fiction for which King is famous. The collection is notable for having had three of its four novellas turned into Hollywood films: "Stand by Me" (1986) was adapted from the novella "The Body", "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994) was adapted from the novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption", and "Apt Pupil" (1998) was adapted from the novella of the same name.
