How old are you?
Steven King has written some good stuff, like The Dark Tower trilogy and The Stand but he ran out of momentum in the mid-80s and is pretty dull nowadays.

If you want good horror, read H. P. Lovecraft.

I prefer the classics... see the Poe thread for instance, but King has released a few good books.

I am talking bout all the books he released not just the ones in the past few years.

King is kind of too in-your-face horror for me. I also like Poe because he's so subtle.

Stephen King is easily my favorite author of all time. I must admit however that I prefer is short stories over his novels.

Go and read Skeleton Crew. It is easily the book he has ever written.

Not to long ago I bought like 10-15 King books and I think Skeleton Crew is among those, I will read it next.

No, read Lovecraft. Even Steven King says he's the best horror writer of the 20th century.

Yeah I do read Lovecraft but I still prefer Stephen King.

You know what? I've NEVER read a book by Stephen King....
Please don't beat me!

I dont hit girls, lol. But I do recommend you read one of his books. YOu should get a short one to see if you like him and want to continue reading his stuff. HE HAS BOOKS THAT ARE ABOUT 1000 PAGES!

1000? That's not too bad....
But what does he write about...I don't like anything but fantasy....unless it's really good.....

Da_Goat · Post by **Da_Goat** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 9:06 pm

He writes horror.

Hm, Horror is ok too....almost like fantasy....(That made sense in my head)

lakerzz8 · Post by **lakerzz8** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 9:20 pm

HE is not just good he is AWESOME! and it is like fantasy horror, not your avg shit. like a gypsy who curses a man to lose weight until he disvolves. or animals who come back from the dead!
