In On Writing, King talks about how he doesn't even remember writing Cujo due to substance abuse. I gotta go with The Dark Tower though. After following that series since I was a young teen, only to have King totally obliterate it at the end. I was a huge King fan up until that point; I haven't read anything by him since.

nthalp posted:Apparently a new Dark Tower novel is coming out in 2012, supposedly happening in between books 4 and 5. I'm still not sure if I would read it, as pretty much everything I have read by King recently smacks of bad hollywood movies. This is a stupid idea. King absolutely ruined the Dark Tower series by finishing the whole thing in a manic, "I just had a brush with my own mortality" fugue state. Never was there more of a case of a good book editor needing to go to battle against an author's ego than with the last two books of the Dark Tower series. The author breaks the fourth wall, turns a major villain into a screeching madman who is erased to death by a magic pencil, etc. etc. Just let it go, Steve. Never return to that world again. Gan compels you.
