Kubrick BTFO'd this pseud so hard it isn't funny.

Has Stephen King ever responded to being a character in Call of the Crocodile? That was ridiculous. JK Rowling and him both get kidnapped in that book.

King wishes he wrote CotC

>”My only regret in my literary career is that I did not write Call of the Crocodile.”

-Stephen King

Holy crap.

I believe it was used in the Alice's Adventures. At least I had them in my edition.

Not as funny as your lack of comprehension of Stephen King's genius

>>20501314
Are you cognitively impaired? I wrote "describing a character's thoughts". And yes, these are partly things he remembers, and there are plenty of passages where it's literally the character's thoughts

>>20501330

Who the fuck is Kubrick?

>>20503999
Rofl welcome to /lit/! XD
Honestly though. Call of the Crocodile reads just like a King novel. If it were not for all the extra commas I would believe King wrote it if it had his name attached to it. The “big twist” is even just as goofy and out of left field as The Stand’s.
The fact that King himself is a character in CotC is just the icing on the cake.

>>20503915
Watch The Shining. King dilated so hard when it came out because it wasn't 'faithful' so he made his own version where he was part of the directing crew of some shit. It was a 90's remake and it's absolutely godawful. Kubrick improved King's story by a mile.

SK is king of the midwitts.
You should have out grown him when you graduated High school.

He also died in 1999 in that car accident and they just replaced him.
The gunslinger books written after the accident are trash.

I just like his use of brackets, sue me

Stanley Kubrick (PBUH) was one of the greatest and most based men to ever grace the face of this earth. He will go down in history as a visionary, eclipsing most authors and artists in his work, his work ethic, and lifestyle. Reminder, he intentionally moved away from the scene so he could focus on his work; holding urban life and the bugmen their in contempt. He had small dinner parties and invited neurosurgeons and others, who attested he was more well read in their subject than they were (just listen to the commentary on 2001). And while he was an atheist, he always rejected humanism, stating his movies were Christian as it revealed true human nature, as we see in A Clockwork Orange. His movies also revealed clues about himself, being a master in the art of retention, the bits from General Ripper weren't jokes but truth, and he refuted casual sex in his final movie, Eyes Wide Shut. And he repeated his craft to do hundreds of times to achieve perfection. Most people comprise. Kubrick didn't.

CJ Cherryh does something like that in Cuckoo's Egg to give echoes of a character remembering something some said in the past. It works really well.

>>20500381
That was so based

>>20500416
Based

Where the fuck is his philtrum?

>>20501647
He looks like a failed experiment from a genetic lab.

Never read a king book before, and this looks awful. Japanese visual novels have better prose than this
