I would agree that some of more recent stuff is pretty cruddy....they can't all be hits! He's still one of my favorite writers. The guy is a master when it comes to short fiction, in my opinion anyway.
Stephen King offers a great deal of insight into what makes a good writer in Stephen King On Writing.
I don’t remember the title off the top of my head. It was a novel that opens with this guy tracking another guy. After several scenes King still had not gotten around to telling me why he was tracking the other guy. He enters a town and kills everybody after the spiritual woman accuses him of killing the Crimson King. There was a lot of violence and bloodshed but I never knew why things were happening. Never knew why the main character’s goal was. He was just there.
If you give me some recommendations, I’ll give King another shot.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
