King is a massive hack. He lets smegma cloud his writing and it messes with the ink in his pen.
>>
>>7473852
Yes.
He's a talented actor too

No. Cool guy, shit author.

I hate myself so much for knowing that this is a Family Guy reference. Not as much as I hate OP, though.

>>7473852

I say yes, OP. And the $400 million dollars in his bank account agrees with me.

>rich imagination, always ready to give us a unique idea
>covers a variety of themes in regards to american life and humanity in general
>relaxed, conversational tone truly captures the voice of modern day people

Why wouldn't he be the greatest writer?

all these /lit/plebs can't spot a basic allusion. looks like all their masturbating to ulysses didn't do them much good.
>>

Because his horror-stories very simple.
1. From nowhere come an evil creature.
2. People kill him and drink a bottle of whiskey.
3. Sell that book and write new one with a same plot.
>>
>>7473852
Greatest? In my opinion, no. Although I enjoy his writing on a personal note he certainly hasn't been the 'greatest'. I don't think there is a 'greatest' when it comes to writing either.

Hi, /lit/le men. It's me. And I just want to say thanks for your support and that I, Thomas Pynchon am in fact Stephen King.

If we're talking about the authors that mass-produce books, sure.

This would indeed spawn the greatest /lit/ memes in the history of /lit/ memes.

I'm actually surprised /lit/ hasn't tried to convince people they're the same person. Or brothers. They look alike enough.
>>
>>7473852
No. Definitely not.
He recycles old horror genres and throws his campy dialogue into it. I'll take Barker over king's tripe any day,
