HashtagGirlboss posted:Yeah that was bad but at least kind of fun bad. Book six where he writes himself into the book and then kills off a main character saving him from the guy who irl hit him with a van, who he writes as a pathetic drug addicted alcoholic loser, is absolutely peak wtf are you even doing Steve Yeah that was bad, lol, to this day I'm still bothered by King trying to write "guy sees modern city for the first time" and making Roland call concrete "metal." Why the gently caress wouldn't he call it stone?

Dr. Jerrold Coe posted:Pet Semetary was King's last good horror novel before he bloated out of control and got silly, and Skeleton Crew was his last decent batch of short stories. The Stand sucks rear end and "It" needs to be cut down by at least 50% including That Scene i tried to read The Stand as a kid but never finished it because it goes on forever and when i picked it up again he'd added 400 pages to it

I think it takes some real guts to actively spite the viewer with a depressing ending to a long running story, all for the gall of asking for a concrete conclusion for the main character, and taunt them about how bad it will be before they commit to reading it Like it would be one thing if DT7 just ended the way it did without that. Not like King hasn't written depressing endings before. But twisting the knife like that in the process? That's a "gently caress you for reading my book" with few equals

I was actually having a conversation last night about Needful Things and how nothing loving HAPPENS in it. Like, The Stand is a doorstop but there's a lot of book in that book. Needful Things was like a short story collection with three novels worth of filler

I’ve never wanted the time I spent reading a book given back to me more than when they actually showed how lame the Crimson King was and then he simply got Duck Amok’d out of existence by a character introduced five seconds earlier. How the gently caress do you go with that?
