Odd I find very few of his books appeal, but the Stand completely entranced me. Funny how the story of a flu-like pandemic that wiped out all the population and paved the way for the embodiment of evil to (literally) walk the world was being written in the 70s - still I guess the fuckers have to tells us to get our "permission" for their atrocities. Oddly I found the Dark Tower to be heavily contrived - I read all the way through to see if there was anything in it - but at the end I felt I could have gotten the same degree of entertainment from reading the embossing on shitter paper.
Reading the Stand got me into Stephen king. The books I tried of his after that were not as good. But at this point in my life I have discernment not to spend too much time absorbed in the mind of a sicko.
Spot-on. King peaked in the first 10-15 years of his career. Salems Lot and The Stand are my two favorites, followed by The Talisman (written with Peter Straub).
He used to be my favorite author, and until he went full libtard about 15-20 years ago, I read every one of his new books. No more...I'm not subsidizing his mind vomit, and no doubt many donations to the DNC.
Authors, pop artists, Hollyweird performers...ALL they need to do is their damn job and keep their pieholes from leaking anything relating to politics. It's impossible for most of them to follow that simple rule anymore, though.
The first TV adaptation was damn good fun too. For the record the latest one is going to be boycotted for the sole reason that Whoopi Hatemonger is in it (in an example of the most completely inappropriate mis-casting in the history of bad decisions)
