“Stephen King is used to talking while everybody else just listens.”
As a published writer, I know a bit about Stephen King’s professional life.
His contract prohibits the editing of his manuscripts. They have to be published exactly the way the publisher receives them.
He also had “The Stand” republished; the newer version put back everything the original editor had removed, most of which is references to urination, defecation, and passing gas. The man is utterly obsessed with toilet matters.
Also, in “The Stand,” it was the military that created the virus that killed 90 percent of the world’s population, and it was the military that ruthlessly enforced martial law, killing innocent civilians without hesitation.
In “The Mist,” the military again brings about the end of the world. Soldiers are never heroic in King’s work.
In his nonfiction book “Danse Macabre,” King writes that when he was a long-haired college student he was once thrown out of a bar by a construction worker “with muscles on his muscles.”
I think he has a big problem with men he considers his social and intellectual inferiors, but who are physically stronger than he is.
Interesting stuff there. I knew none of that...
seems like king is one of those low achieving social outcases who was just lucky he could type fast. (not smart enough to be a nerd but smart enough to be a good tattle tale on others)
This is the SOB who went balistic when http://www.themoviespoiler.com revealed the ending to his story.
Seriously, that website has the end to ALL of king’s movies so you never have to suffer through them.
Actually that seems to be the best revenge against king. Reveall all the ends to his “stories” so he has nothing to sell.
His books were never anything more that mental junk food.
I noticed this, too. He also seems to enjoy has his characters masturbate, and I was completely shocked how he had the characters in "It", while still children, have sexual intercourse with each other as a bonding ritual after dispensing with the monster. Disgusting.
