I think it was heavily implied that the girl (forget her name) was being abused by her father or some similar bullshit, and in her head she somehow thought it would bond them together, but yeah, still doesn't make sense...
Beverly.
Fathers sexually abusing daughters is a theme that reoccurs in several of his books - Dolores Claiborne, Gerald's Game, IT, 'Salems Lot.
Additionally, in 'Salems Lot, the evil and richest guy in 'Salem, Hubie Marston and his wife Bertie, are rumored to have hosted sexually fueled and demonic worshipping parties with some of the town's teenaged girls.
Hubie also contacts a couple (two men) in Europe and invites them to his town. One of the men is a vampire/demon and the other is the demon's protector. The protector procures a young boy(s) for the vampire to consume.
I always thought of 'Salems Lot as just a vampire story, but after what I've learned over the past few years, clearly there is more going on in this one.
No wonder King is afraid.
It wouldn't shock me, but I'm reluctant to make accusations simply because king writes creepy stuff in fiction. A big part of my objection to the political left in the west is they're willingness to accuse people of ugly things simply because they have the wrong politics. I'd be a hypocrite if I did the same.
Hell, the only reason I pay attention to politics is because of the damage control that sony pictures pulled when the Failbusters trailer bombed (if you don't know what I'm talking about...it was brutal. The first trailer came out, and the internet ripped it a new asshole...)
Appreciate it. Please consider.
I have read a large portion of King's body of work. There are several themes that run throughout:
--Sexual encounters with young kids - both with adults as well as kids with each other
--Struggles with smoking and or drinking
--Death of a sibling. Usually a brother.
--Demonic elements
These themes repete themselves throughout his work. It is clear to me these things prey on his mind A LOT.
For example, George R.R. Martin's characters in the Games of Thrones books are barely teenagers - Danerys is 13, Sansa hasn't menustrated yet, Theon and Rob are 14. Why so interested in their sex lives? Why do they need to be so young? Pedo action, George?
Andrew Vachhs is another lawyer/author that I suspect brings to justice the crimnals or an amalgamation of those he failed to convict IRL. Many of these consist of crimes against children.
In both cases, Martin and Vachhs, I have no idea of their political affiliations. Yet, I see the themes in what they write.
An author's psyche is on display through their work, and becomes increasingly apparent as one reads a large body of their work.
that's fair. Devil's Advocate, though:
--Sexual encounters with young kids - both with adults as well as kids with each other
is it possible that king himself or someone close to him was abused? I'm not saying it's the case, only that it's an alternative explanation.
Like I said, I'm just trying not to hang someone out to dry for having bad politics, lol
