Had a good discussion about King today. I don't actually like a whooooole lot of his old stuff, I mean The Shining still scares the everloving shit out of me but I can't stand IT or some of his short stores (CHATTERY TEETH WTF), and I think he might have used to be homophobic (Sneakers and IT) and racist (Thinner and if he didn't create the Magical Negro trope, he certainly is a text book case).
I really liked Everything's Eventual and a newer book I liked was Duma Key. I hate it when his monsters make no sense or aren't explained, but Duma Key was otherwise good enough for me to be okay with it.
I was reading Dreamcatcher a little while ago (had to stop due to school) and I feel like its almost making up for IT, having the same heartwarming childhood flashbacks but more hilarious monsters, the ass weasels.
