OH HAI STEPHEN

Superiour Stephen is superiour

Ste[hen King on Twilight:

“Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.

People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it’s not particularly threatening because it’s not overtly sexual.

A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that’s a shorthand for all the feelings that they’re not ready to deal with yet.”

Stephen King also didn't write any shit worth reading past the first book of the Dark Tower series.

if King knows so much about young girls, how come his daughter married a 50 year old nigger-dyke

Where is this from, please.

Stephen King's best works are his non horror stuff, especially when it comes to his short stories.

I'm Garth Marenghi, dreamweaver. And as such, I approve of fellow dreamweavers such as Stephen King.
He's a talented little bloke and who knows, someday he might even write more books than me.

which is his best book in /lit/'s opinion?

>>854266
Either Slicer or Black Fang. I'm quite fond of Crab!! as well.

The Stand was good up until the literal Deus ex Machina ending... although even there I have to give him credit for just balls-out saying okay, the hand of God comes down. If you're gonna have some trick ending, fucking commit. Like everyone I liked the Dark Tower series in high school, altho now everything past, say, The Wasteland makes me cringe.

>Jo Rowling is a terrific writer

I thought King was off the drugs?

And what abour Apocalypsis and the dark tower saga?

King is definitely the rockstar of authors- that mother fucker was on a lot of fucking drugs.

>Padding down their magnificent mahogany staircase each morning, Tabitha King had become used to finding her husband passed out in a puddle of vomit next to his desk
>His dependency had reached such a pitiful stage five years later that he had resorted to buying antiseptic mouthwash for its alcohol content
>[king] was supplementing the many gallons of beer he drank with so much cocaine that he had to stick cotton wool up his nose to stop blood dripping on to his typewriter.

IM STEVEN KING AND I DO C-C-C-C-COCAINE.

MY NEW BOOK WASNT PUBLISHED CAUSE YOU COULD SEE MY JUNK ON THE COVER.

I'm a huge King fan, but some of his material is a little too niche for me. It's like he's writing letters to other Stephen Kings, and I have no idea who else would identify with what he's trying to say sometimes.

>>855686
That was a very observant thing to say.
