i don't think stephen king writes his own books anymore. maybe his short stories still, but all of "his" more recent novels are almost certainly ghostwritten. they're just way, way too formulaic.

No, King hasnโ€™t wrote a good novel since Revival came out 11 years ago

I've been thinking this for years but I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be a creative writing exercise for either of his sons.

King is a pedo who writes slop.

Audible barred me from returns after I spent a few hours trying and failing to get into another of his latest books (Holly)

She was white in the other series. Forget the name of it. Had that fat Irish actor from The Banshees of Inisherin in it.

I bet this bitch assumed she's get the role and then when they recast it as a negress she not only lost the job but had to kneel and pretend how happy about it she was

She had a main role in Succession when the black woman was cast in that shitty Outsider series no one noticed so she probably didn't care much. The adaptations she was in lasted 3 seasons.

Pretty sure this is the same broad from Wicked, lol.
