What are his best books?

>>24464145 (OP)
Nothing, SLOP

>>24464145 (OP)
The Body.

>>24464145 (OP)
Thinner.
But overall his drugged out, perverted mind can't stay on topic long enough to write a competent ending

>>24464145 (OP)
Salem's Lot, The Bachman Books, the first 1/3 of The Stand, most of It, and Pet Semetary.

Don't listen to anyone saying The Shining. King thought it would be his magnum opus and hasn't stopped seething about Kubrick's movie being better. Just think about it: all of the books he has that have been turned into terrible movies and the one he has spent literal decades criticizing is regarded as one of the best horror movies ever made.

Also, he's a pedo. Pic-related.

How is the novelization of Christine? Asking for a friend

I loved Revival and Desperation. His short story collections tend to be good iirc.

Can someone please explain who these people in the image are?
>>24464145 (OP)
IT.
I have said it before but King making the retard the pivotal character of the story annoys me to no end. Most of his books are mid, or fall short of the hype people build around his books. Was it a newish genre at the time and he happened to be a good writer with prolific writing capabilities?

Kings famous books aren't his best.

>>24464145 (OP)
literally On Writing and that's it

>>24464145 (OP)
Salem’s Lot, Duma Key, Night Shift, Revival, and some of The Dark Tower books are all good.
>>24464711
Pretty decent. Not his best but it’s a good read.
>>24465072
Short stories easily the best, his dumb ass endings don’t show up

>>24464145 (OP)
the shining, cujo, the first four dark tower books, different seasons, the talisman, misery, the dark half, the dead zone, from a buick 8

>>24464706
I mean King was right, she died a few days later after IDF shills tried their best to debunk it and paint her as an insane person.

>>24465093
Prince Andrew and his underage gf. I think.

King is a hack, Shining the novel isn't a masterpiece, but it's one of his better works, and the movie definitely isn't better as a story. It's basically a retarded horror flick that takes away any substance from the plot to turn it into a spoopy ghost tale. It's a style-over-substance haunted house Disneyland ride. The only outstanding thing about it is the directing.

>>24464145 (OP)
The only good thing he wrote was Carrie

>>24464145 (OP)
IT, because you know why.

>>24464145 (OP)
For me, it's Wizard and Glass. Salem's Lot is also pretty good from start to finish, which is rare for a King book.

>>24464145 (OP)
Every adaptation of a Stephen King story is better than a Stephen King book.

>King defends a pedo
Of course.

>>24465773
That's a flat out lie. For every Shining there are 3 Desperations.

Prince Andrew with a girl who went public about being human trafficked by the woman in the picture (Epstein's gf). Context is she was involved in a hit-and-run accident, survived, and "killed herself" a week later. She also tweeted that she feared for her life, wanted to make it clear that she wasn't suicidal, and would never kill herself.

>King is a hack
Sure, but he knows how to entertain.
>it's one of his better works
It's not.
>It's basically a retarded horror flick that takes away any substance from the plot
Filtered. It minimizes King's self-insert in favor of fostering open-ended themes.
>It's a style-over-substance
The style is substance.
>The only outstanding thing about it is the directing.
The director obsessively controlled all aspects of the film.
