    You should try read at least one book and then have an opinion based on experience.

    Almost all of his books had been transformed in motion pictures. If you think you get scared by the movies, their books are much more scarier. It's amazing how a few words put together can make you visualise all the pain and fear the character is being through.

    Some easy reading to start with are: Cujo and Thinner.

    Then, if you don't like them, at least you'll have more to say about why didn't you like them.

If I had to and if I cared enough, I could go to my bookshelf right now and pick at LEAST three DK novels with very nearly identical plots. And probably more like 10.

                            Why the attitude?

                            Stop the presses - we have a genuine authority here.

                            Wake up, Junior. College qualifies you to critique shit. Sell a few million copies of something and then come back with an opinion.

                            Until then - you're a dink with a keyboard.

                                    Anyone remember a little movie called "Demon Seed"?

                                    Based on a Dean Koontz novel.

                                    If memory serves...it pre-dated a lot of Stephen King movies.

                                            Demon seed came out a year after Carrie. Yes it predates all of Stephen Kings movies aside from that one. Both were very new to movie adaptations back then and neither had any control or much say in the movies anyhow. Book rights were just purchased and so be it.

                                            I read both authors however my all time favorite and in my opinion most influential horror author ever is H.P. Lovecraft. Feel free to try to make a case that any other author is as influential as Lovecraft was to the genre if not even more wide spread. Hell try to find any valid horror writer who does not borrow from his mythos.

                                                        E. A. Poe was more influential to the genre than Lovecraft, and is far more widespread. Also, have you ever actually tried to read Lovecraft? It's some turgid going, I'll tell you right now...

                                                        I've read authors much more critically acclaimed than King, with half the craft. Critics hate him because his work is accessible and entertaining for everyone, lit profs dislike him because he doesn't laboriously hide 10 layers of meaning in every paragraph, and he doesn't include hidden references to obscure protostories 10,000 yrs old that were discovered written in cuneiform on papyrus scrolls that only lit professors pick up on. Not all of them, there are a lot of classes taught on SK's work these days, but a lot of them. Shakespeare was considered vulgar entertainment for the masses in his day as well.

                                                        Hey Vasago, have another deep swallow of that hatorade. Is it bitter?
