Pleb clusterfuck.

My opinion is that King is going to die this year, because a number of other B-list cultural figure types (and could still trade on their names) who had their best successes in the 70s and 80s yet were still active, have already died this year: Scalia, Prince, Bowie, Alan Rickman,

King was great (for his league) back in his hay-day, there seemed to be a real underlying psychological plumbing of the depths of the average man's dark nature because of his writing style. After his car accident I noticed a striking difference in his writing style and everything I've read post-accident has just left a bad taste in my mouth (never finished Dark Tower because of that) and I just can't read him anymore, not that I was an avid reader of his in the first place.

travesty

He's alright, had some good stuff and some bad.
On Writing is actually good.

he isn't good by any of the standards that make someone /lit/-approved.

But he has a lot of goddamn feeling, and that counts for something. 11/22/63 wrecked me, senpai.

For what he is, he is great. He's a better writer when he thinks smaller: Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary, Misery... those are good when you consider what they are. Dark Tower, The Stand... Not so much.

good concepts that are poorly executed
