Tho’ a gifted writer of horror, King is a dope who needs to be slapped daily.
King is a horror show.
His best years are long behind him.
SPJNK.
I enjoy reading his books when I get them from the used bookstore run by a non-profit, knowing they were donated and what I pay goes to a good local cause. My little way of telling him to STFU and write.
He is really not that gifted as a horror writer. His ‘Salem’s Lot and The Shining were rewrites of Dracula and The Haunting of Hill House.
crazy right? some of his early novels were genius. I keep feeling like I am in the early chapters of The Stand, with how governments lie and people behave/are motivated despite obvious doom looming. some days I feel like I recognize myself in a couple of the early throwaway cast.
