That other guy that used to write like King or attempt to, I have to google his name now
Dean Koontz
I used to tink his stuff was great
Till about the 5th book I realised ..all this shit is the same, its the same damn story every time.

Stevie King keeps it interesting, hes got his same themes going on but he mixes it up.

This indy author guy I read Keith Blackmore, he was pretty well known for his Mountain Main zombie books before zombies were as huge as they are now.

He said the money is in the zombie books as people lap it up & its what his "fans" demand. but he got sick of it so started writing a series about a school of Gladiators & another series about mercenaries & beast men, write the stuff that comes into his head instead of sticking to the same old formula.
King although I don' t tink much of at least half his books is willing to go away from his most fan frenly styles cause not just bout the money & the formula, tis bout writing & imagination

Be honest Calo, a few years ago before you became a Twilight twink hanging out at borders book store you were still reading these book and to make matters worse you couldn't even read them with the light off.

Last thing I read by King is Full Dark No Stars. A collection of horror novels, really fucking good. He ain't no Lovecraft though, for some really good horror check out The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward (Might have the name wrong)
