King became formulaic after "The Shining".

Should have quit while he was ahead.

These Moon Bats can't help themselves being a dick.

Trump broke him.
He was always a liberal, but a normal one.
After Trump he goes on Twitter tirades, always-always manages to throw Trump in any interview he does etc.
And he has lost his writing magic. There is only so much in the tank.
I don't believe he will ever write another Stand/Misery etc. ever again.

Once they become Limousine Liberals it seems like they all go bat shit crazy.

One of the few who's work was WAY better while he was drunk and on drugs.

He was a Socialist leaning Elitist

Reminds me of the line from a song - "I am the life of the party as long as I am buying".
These people get used to being treated like they are like Gods, after awhile they start believing they are.

Yes, but he wrote good shit when he was drunk and high.

I never paid attention to his personal and chemical life, so I couldn't say I agree.

The Stand is one of the best Fiction books of the 20th century.
I would think in the top 1000 books in the 20th century, he probably at least has a couple.
But after the 2010s... meh.

Everything prior to about the mid-1990s, he was shitfaced when he wrote. Definitely his best work.

In 1999 he got hit by a car, almost died, and got clean. It's been a long downhill slide since then.

I agree. The Stand was a great book.

Becoming Hollywood fucked him up badly.

The Stand is the only work of King's that anyone need read.

I read it every few years...

Hard to believe the big bad villain in The Stand is the U.S. government's "scientists", like Anthony Fauci.

Now, King would gladly get on his knees and blow Fauci on command.

That's what leftism does to peoples' brains.

Misery is not a major piece of work like The Stand. but it is very good story.
King back in the day wrote probably 10 real good reads, the other 55 range from okay to nutty/whacko nonsense.
Koontz took his place

I read all of his early stuff, but when Gerald's Game came along, well it just wasn't... like his other stuff. I never finished it. After that, I read his stuff sparingly... The Green Mile, Under the Dome, and 11/22/63. I haven't picked up anything of his since.

I don't know if it was getting hit by the van, the alcohol, liberalism, or old age, but he just doesn't write like he used to...

Misery was disturbingly good.

I remember reading Salem's Lot... it scared me in the middle of the day.

The early Bachman Books were very good as well.

He used to understand the world, and his books reflected that. Now he's just an old, bitter, warmongering bigot.

Saloms Lot

Was “ Wolfen “ based on one of his stories ?
