What are some really talented modern day writers? Why has literature been dying the past 40 years? I honestly laugh when I try reading modern literature compared to the classics

I like his work, but to call him a master of horror for books? That seems a little much. Was the horror genre really that dry at the time before he came along?

Does Stephen King have literary merit? In my opinion, the only decent work of literature he ever produced was The Shining, and that was only decent because it gave Kubrick the base material to create one of the greatest films of all time.

Older I get the more hateful and demonic he and his stories seem. I know it is a line with artists. But it's kinda fucked up if you stop and think of it. like he is at war with god or something.

So why do people read it? I mean pic related is arguably the most successful pop fiction writer of all time and is mainly a horror writer.

I love his horror short stories. Can't stand the style/prose. Any recs? I didn't like Lovecraft, I didn't like Poe. Too antiquated. Want horror short stories that are modern and well written
