He hasn't written anything outstanding in many, many years.


But you are right. Nothing OUTSTANDING since The Green Mile. A few better than average books, but nothing like he was churning out in the 80's and early 90's.


It, Salem's Lot, and The Shining were literally scary and yet I couldn't put any of them down. I remember how weird and yet intriguing Tommyknockers was. Even the book where Satan was the owner of the shop was an excellent read. And what can I say about The Stand? Misery? That one was actually about his cocaine addiction according to an interview I read.
Seriously, Stephen King kept me company when I was a teen in a troubled home. But, I really can't read anything by him anymore and haven't been able to in years. Too bad really.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

Very sad, and you are spot on. - 05/01/2010 03:04:42 PM 644 Views
He has never been the same since 1) getting off drugs and 2) getting hit by the car. - 06/01/2010 01:36:24 AM 607 Views
I think the drug issue had more to do with it than the car. - 06/01/2010 02:20:00 PM 644 Views

Too bad. Initial reviews were positive. - 06/01/2010 01:20:57 PM 552 Views
All of this is very disheartening considering the recent New Dark Tower Book announcement. - 06/01/2010 04:30:34 PM 634 Views
I agree. - 06/01/2010 04:57:34 PM 563 Views

Could be. - 07/01/2010 03:08:39 PM 597 Views
I'm often like that as well. - 07/01/2010 06:30:30 PM 562 Views
I wouldn't say it was his best work. - 08/01/2010 06:38:18 PM 736 Views
