How can this man dream of so unbelievable LOT of unique stories?
I'm not a fan of him, read none of his books, but I've seen and liked a handful of movies made upon his books. And he wrote a LOT.
One-two book to write would be enough for a lifetime to most people, but as i know he has at least 20! And they aren't even similar to each other, or have some formula to them, but are pretty unique.
How does he do that? Is he some ayylmao?
also his new movie is looking nice

He killed John Lennon.
CIA in exchange give him a bunch of ghost writers to write stories for him
If you read this, your live is in danger now.
Good luck.

>Stephen King's WANTED MAN
It's about fucking time they released this trailer I've been waiting for this shit for ten years almost

Cocaine.
just how?
and also wtf is with the world and /tv/.
>fatso GRRM writes some books and is praised to heavens
>granny makes a magician kid tale cliché and is ppraised to heavens
>no Stephen King threads ever
>>68778536
>dream of so unbelievable LOT of unique stories?
Very much, inside greatest BOTH up around!
>>68779619
Not trying to get this thread of the wheels but Gurm wrote like 15 novels, tons of short stories and edited dozens of books. It is really not like he wrote only ASOIAF.
>inb4 he is only known for ASOIAF
Nah, he was awarded more than once for his Sci-Fi stuff.
>>68778536
>a LOT
Who the fuck are you, DJ Khaled?
>>68779619
The Dark Tower movie probably ran a lot of people away from praising him, especially when he was praising the casting.
>>68779619
It's a meme to hate the King. Here's what they always meme:
>Muh endings, King can't finish
>He was only good on coke
>Can't believe a nigger is playing Roland
>Dark Tower sucks, only first 4 are readable
>Pedo gangbang at end of It
>His self-insert to Dark Tower makes him a pleb
>Pictures of his tweetd making him look pleb
Bunch of fuckin illiterate haters amd contrarian edgelords don't recognize the greatest American author of the last 40 years. He is GOAT, his creativity and spoops are God-tier. His productivity has been legendary. He is truly the patricians author, especially for /tv/ and /film/ adaptation potential.
I look forward to Cell and hope to see a Long Walk movie or Insomnia.

drugs mostly

All of those greentexts are true.
>>68778536
Genius idea to cross breed smartphones with zombies, I've literally called them zombies, never thought about using it as a story concept.
>>68778687
good thing i didn't read this
Unique? Its literally
>How about zombies, but instead them being undead, its caused by CELLPHONES?!?!!??!!

You need to go back.

>pedo gangbang
i'm listening
>>68779774
sorry, but even than not as many as SK
>>68780173
i dont believe in that drugs work as some elixir or muse, seeing all the junkies
>>68780321
it's a social commentary on how smart phones turn people into idiots
>>68780505
I'm pretty sure the book came out before smartphones were a big thing
>>68780119
He writes pulp. Stephen King was my favorite author back when I was in highschool and read my dad's entire collection, but have some perspective.
He's like JK Rowling for grown ups.
>>68780505
The book its based on existed before smart phones did
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(novel)
Try again
>>68780119
Have another
>Cell was the worst book I have ever read
>>68780554
>>68780610
that's because stephen king is an anagram of nostradamus, he literally see what the future withholds and writes fiction commenting about it
>>68780627
Seems legit
>>68779619
Most of his movies suck (Misery, Shashank Redemption, Maybe The Shining as exceptions), but I do enjoy most of his books. He's actually quite good.
>>68780610
>>68780554
the first use of the phrase "smartphone" appeared in 1995
>>68779619
/lit/ has labeled king dimestore trash, and /pol/ has labeled him a cuck, sidiscussion about him is not allowed in 4chan.
>>68781060
Nice attempt at arguing semantics, but you know you're wrong kiddo
>>68780357
Read the book, cum buckets.
>>68780119
>Muh endings, King can't finish
They are right. The hand of God comes down from the sky? The ending is the same as the beginning? Find the killer in the middle of a concert and get him with a sock full of coins?
>He was only good on coke
He was best on coke. He is still good.
>Can't believe a nigger is playing Roland
Nobody can believe a nigger is playing Roland. Those that like the idea are either cucks or white guilt.
>Dark Tower sucks, only first 4 are readable
Ok. Only idiots say this. All the tower books are good in their own way. Althou #2 is the absolute best.
>Pedo gangbang at end of It
I got a boner reading it. I was 14 at the time so its ok.
>His self-insert to Dark Tower makes him a pleb
No. He can do whatever he wants.
>Pictures of his tweetd making him look pleb
He is a pleb. He is humongous dork. Only that he is fucking tall and scary looking when he was young, but he is still a dork. A lovable and talented dork, of course.
Also, does anyone know why the fuck does my editon of the dark tower doesnt have the original drawings (the image) but rather those that are in darker colours? Thank you.
throw all your shit at a wall, some of it will stick
>>68780505
I read the book back when the most advanced technology was a 2MP camera and those unbreakable nokia phones.
>>68781340
it came out in 2006 tho, first smartphone came out in 2001
>>68781397
Yeah, but back in those days smartphone were for business people and looked like pic related. They were available like now and not everyone had one.
The people in the book get infected by all phones because at the end the main characters picks up a home line and talks to his son.
>>68780348
But /lit/ generally is meh toward King.
>>68781315
This pretty much but you've been harsh.
if u took kings 5 best books and attributed them to one author solely he would be considered a genius. King has written a lot of trash that sort of lower his average but hes like china and honour students in that the amount of good books he's written outweight the amount of books a lot of good writers have written period
>>68782063
thats a lot of work, even to write as many bad books, and his are barly like that
>>68780357
It wasn't a gang bang it was a train
>>68782291
I dont get what u mean exactly. What im saying is that he's written more good books than a lot of good writers have written end of story. A whole lotta respect for king
>>68781293
Finally someone who likes the drawing of the three as best. It was my favorite
>>68780321
They only start off as zombies, then they turn into some intelligent hivemind that flies around in "flocks".
>>68778687
nice
i didnt read this btw
>>68779619
Are you me?
>>68778536
Stephen King is one of the most celebrated writers of our time.... just saying.
>>68783631
we king now
>>68778536
seriously that book was really just a throwaway story to make some bucks in the vain of that kindle-exclusive e-book.
Why would they turn THAT into a movie? Oh right, zombies...
>>68783934
*dick bump*
>>68778687
Shit I forgot my glasses I couldn't read this. Oh well.
Can't beat Agatha Christie
>>68779619
No copy of The Stand?
It's too bad they will never be able to make a true-to-the-book movie version of The Running Man.Thanks Osama
>>68778536
King has this trend of having a neat idea, but giving his stories really stupid endings.
>>68779619
>Stephen King is such an underrated gem no one knows about
>I'm so special for reading the most popular books ever written
>pls upvote me
>>68778687
fuck you, WHO DO YOU THINK YOUK ARE
>>68778536
Why is Needful things the best novel?
>>68783934
>>68783631
>>68779619
shit, I only own Tommyknockers and Stand by Me.
This movie would be much better if they made it a decade ago instead of waiting until the zombie genre's been beaten to death and everyone's sick of it.
>>68780321
Not to mention, every single line spoken by anyone in the book is just horrible.
i live 2 blocks from Steve AMA
>>68781293
>Find the killer in the middle of a concert and get him with a sock full of coins?
Oy vey that book was such garbage. King was literally lusting over a teenage nigger in it lol
>>68786326
I live like an hour away. Always wanted to check his house out on Halloween.
>>68786825
the place is more than meets the eye
from the front gate it's a beautiful victorian but it extends back for ages, there's some kind of complex with solar panels towards the back
>>68780505
It was back when people were paranoid that cellphones would give you brain cancer
That trailer looks like shit.
>>68786326
Ever do coke with him?
He's written a lot more than 20, OP. They run the gamut from great to complete shit.
Salem's Lot is a great horror novel, really kicked off my love for "slow creeping plague/evil/disaster in a setting" type stories.
Ones like The Stand are great until the ending, and his short story bibliography is generally really, really good.
>read cell when I was younger
>about half way through
>open to a random page accidentally and see the part where the girl gets killed
>drop the book and never pick it up again.
>>68787651
The one that gets smashed in the head with a fucking brick from a speeding car. I still remember that shit. I read it when I was 17.
She survives for awhile and spends the remainder of her time alive in a dazed state holding a small baby shoe she found.
>>68787508
i think he gave that shit up in the 90's
always hoping to meet some townies with stories like that though
>>68778536
>but they are pretty unique
It's a zombie movie, exactly like every other zombie movie.
Preview looks as bad as WWZ.
>>68778536
so it's based on Stephen King who can't finish in prose or in bed without cocaine, starring Memeuel L. Jackson with a big Jules from Pulp Fiction speech, and John "JUST" Cusack, along with some bland flavor of the month young actress and dozens of people either hanging their mouths open like retards or making 28 days later sounds, which are downright comical when it's just extras acting, with no makeup or subjective editing tricks to support them. Plus the whole gimmick of cellphones turning them into zombies is literally just the setup, at which point it turns into a derivative and watered down zombie movie. oh yeah, looks great. plus, directed by Tod "so far has handled a found-footage movie which relied on gimmick-based jump scares" Williams with his first big budget feature.
>Cell
should have remade it for Tablets t b h. Just finished finders Keepers, hope they eventually make that into a movie.

Ayy.
The few of you don't treat books very well. Creased spines, creased covers, frayed edges, and broken spines on hardcovers. Pretty sure none of them are first editions at least.
>>68778536
>And they aren't even similar to each other, or have some formula to them, but are pretty unique.
Something mundane has become spooky and an uninspired writer from Maine has to deal with it as best he can.
>>68788734
It's called buying books from shitty market stalls for $2 anon. A lot of mine are ex library books so they've been JUST'ed a fair bit.
Read this book years ago, was published way before phones could actually do anything significant
My only worry is ive been hearing about this for so long that im pretty sure it has been filmed for a good few years now
