I would have dropped every Stephen King book by that measure. Actually, maybe I should have.


I was gifted two of them recently, and it seems like maybe he might have chosen to sacrifice quality for quantity two or three hundred books ago.

I'm glad I decided to avoid him as an author when I was much younger. He'd have been better off just writing them as screenplays or teleplays to begin with.

Someone recently compared my Twitter posts to Stephen King, and I winced physically. I'm almost certain they meant it as a compliment, though. And maybe that's good if I wanted to write for the mass market instead of the sci-fi/fantasy nerds?
