Good. I loathe Stephen King’s books anyway, so I can just add this one to the pile of them I’ve never read and never will. Just a sample of a few pages was enough to turn my stomach.
Then I won’t buy it.
I’m working on my own horror novel. It’s about a famous wealthy novelist who is so afraid of a disease epidemic that he hides away, takes multiple vaccines, and ridicules and demonizes those who just don’t take the thing seriously. He is so sanitized that his immune system collapses from underuse.
He eventually overdoses on vaccines and dies a painful death, only after transforming into a pile of oozing green sludge.
Given what Stephen King has cranked out over the years, I’ve always compared him to the large room full of chimps with typewriters. Once in a while he types out a quasi-hit but I don’t consider any of his works that great, regardless of his politics. Some people are really big fans of his, though. I don’t get it.
My money will stay in my pocket and I'll be happier that way.
And good for you in knowing I meant Robert McCammon.
I never was much for horror but I try to skim at least a couple of books by every author so I know my stock.
Out of all the horror authors I have read they are the two that stand above. And also have scared the wits out of me.
Only liberals read him... they’ll kiss his butt for ‘being brave preaching to the choir’....
King has one foot in the grave and the other foot on the banana peel.
Screw him!
That guy is still able to write books?
I thought he was so infested with TDS that he wouldn’t be able to form a coherent thought.
not a fan of this sicko.
Lets see who DIES 1st, jabbed or unjabbed:-)
>> I say most will not read it.
...or anything else written by him, in my case.
He hasn’t written a good book in30 plus years just 700 pages of blather.
I’ve disliked his books for a long time because he was kind of a sick freak. Now he’s an old, bitter, entitled, condescending, ignorant, sick, political freak.
Its fiction right? nothing new... Covid vaccine deniers were right. Its difficult for these scumbags to ever have to eat their own shit.... but the facts are in.... Stevie was wrong about it all. Their game is gaslighting... and Stevie wrote a whole book trying to convince folks he was right , when in fact he was 100% wrong...and he knows it.
Dude peaked in the 1980s, if not earlier.
Who reads his cocaine filled brain stories?
He’s another stupid idiot leftist.
King hasn’t written anything worth a c..p in a long time.
Stephen King is not going to like his steeply declining book sales.
