Who cares? He's writes notoriously bad endings to his stories. King is a slop factory

All of King's stories are basically "[thing] but evil"
what if cars were evil? Christine
what if clowns were evil? It
what if bubbles were evil? Under the Dome
what if fan girls were evil? Misery
what if fan hotels were evil? The Shining
etc.

Both are slop, but King's fiction is much more enjoyable; his characters have personality, his plots are deranged and dreamlike (sometimes in a good way), and his fictional worlds are vibrant and imaginative. Martin's books on the other hand feel much more meticulously thought-out but somehow lifeless; his stories feel incredibly boring, all his characters are somewhat believable but completely despicable. Even the supernatural elements in Martin's book seem to lack all mystique and sense of wonder.
