Calling King a “Chimp” is not racist because he doesn’t really look like a chimp.

King is a good storyteller, but his political views are crap. Shut up and write.

[knarf]

That’s fauxcohontus

[Redcitizen]

He didn’t survive his encounter with Pennywise.

The only author who was so lucrative for the publishing house he wrote for that he got to change the rules of the English language.

Friedberg is as hysterical as king.

I’ve been seeing that cross-dresser for years but I didn’t know it was Billie Jean King.

I had a very, very good experience with a Steven King novel some years ago.

Ironically, the reason is that the novel was so very, very bad, including absolutely awful hyper-stereotyped depictions of Christians, that I was forced to put the book down after a few chapters. I asked the giver of the book for the receipt, she gave it to me, and I took it to Barnes & Noble to return it for full value and exchange it for one written by a Christian writer of horror novels - Frank Peretti.

That fortuitous choice led me to buy & read every one of Peretti's books then available. So I can credit King's awful writing for my discovery of a truly great author of horror novels!

Almost every new fiction author is rejected multiple dozens of times. (I know this from personal experience)

Getting a work of fiction published is hideously hard. There are actually many people trying to do it and most of them never manage it even with the help of professional editors and writing coaches.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

King stopped signing autographs many years ago. This really pissed off some of us fans who would liked to have him sign (I had a joint photo of him and George Romero that Romero gladly autographed).

While I can understand the demand of receiving many requests, it is a shame for young collectors not to be able to get them any more.

Romero was funny as hell, esp. when we were all talking together with Malcom McDowell, esp. about other directors.

GR - RIP. King - STFU!

"I mean—King was rejected like a zillion times by book editors, until somebody started making movies that were better than his books. Then he apparently noticed he could sell made-up bull-crap stories about mentally ill characters. "

This sentence is completely false. King was a successful writer before his books became movies, and some of the bad ones are now cult classics. King's writing style doesn't easily lend itself well to television and movies.

If you colored his face light green, he’d be the Grinch.

[miss marmelstein]

As someone who reveres Shirley Jackson, Henry James & even HP Lovecraft, I would say he can’t even write decent horror fiction. Shirley never had to stoop to haunted washing machines.

[BushCountry]

While his book called, “On Writing” was decent. It told a story of a drug addled and broken man. There is nothing in past that supports his ability to give advice to anyone.

Playing around with the demonic as life work is bound to affect you at some point

[fungoking]

King once defended his books from high brow critics by saying his writings were literary equivalent of Big Macs, not fancy but very popular.

Why would he think his political opinions were any deeper?

[RedMonqey]

"Like the horror classic called, “A Portrait Of Dorian Gray,” current photos of Stephen King seem to reveal a more and more frightful person. If his hair were a little longer he could look terrifyingly like somebody’s granny.”

Yup!

(Snicker, Snicker!)

True that.

Like somebody’s Lesbian granny
