===Literature=== King co-wrote two novels with [[Peter Straub]], ''[[The Talisman (King and Straub novel)|The Talisman]]'' (1984) and ''[[Black House (novel)|Black House]]'' (2001).<ref>{{Cite news |last=Risen |first=Clay |date=September 6, 2022 |title=Peter Straub, Literary Master of the Supernatural, Dies at 79 |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/06/books/peter-straub-dead.html}}</ref> Straub recalls that "We tried to make it as difficult as possible for readers to identify who wrote what. Eventually, we were able to successfully imitate each other's style... Steve threw in more commas or clauses, and I kind of made things more simple in sentence structure. And I tried to make things as vivid as I could because Steve is just fabulous at that, and also I tried to write more colloquially." Straub said the only person who could correctly identify who wrote which passages was a fellow author, [[Neil Gaiman]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=What is it Like...To Co-Write a Bestelling Novel With Stephen King? |work=USM Today |url=https://www.usm.org/about/usm-today/post/~board/2018-19-fall-winter/post/what-is-it-like-to-co-write-a-bestselling-novel-with-stephen-king}}</ref> King and the photographer [[f-stop Fitzgerald]] collaborated on the [[coffee table book]] ''[[Nightmares in the Sky|Nightmares in the Sky: Gargoyles and Grotesques]]'' (1988).<ref>{{Cite news |date=September 15, 1988 |title=Nightmares in the Sky |work=Kirkus Reviews}}</ref> He produced an [[artist's book]] with designer [[Barbara Kruger]], ''[[My Pretty Pony]]'' (1989), published in a limited edition of 250 by the Library Fellows of the [[Whitney Museum of American Art]].
