He writes in all kinds of genres. I just this week got a copy of his latest novel MOON LAKE, which I'm guessing is some kind of noir-esque mystery. I haven't read any of his horror, which may be the genre for which he is best known.

there are far better authors than Stephen King, much of King's writings is drivel

Read John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath or Of Mice & Men,

or Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi, plus Tom Sawyer and the Huck Finn books are a decent pair
