It’s amazing how many book nerds worship this creep. As a writer, he’s just average. He appeals to teens and 20 somethings who are seeking twisted stories. He will get his.
I tried reading one once - I was probably in my 30's at the time. I don't remember much, except that it was awful and I don't think I made it through 30 pages. Made me wonder why he was so popular.
He is widely "loved" by millenials due to giving us the miniseries IT with another millenial darling, Tim Curry. Most of my generation love it because we had our first horror icon, and progressive icon rolled into one.

I read everything he wrote up to "Misery"....then found out what a POS he is.
I liked "The Stand" ... but I tend to like most end of the world stories, so ...
I do despise Stephen King though. What an asshole.
