It's heartening to learn that I'm not the only one who thinks that way about Stephen King, though in my opinion the actual horror content of his work is variable at best. He can come up with really imaginative scenarios and compelling monsters, pit them against engaging characters (the same ones again and again), but his books don't so much end as just stop. It's like he suddenly runs out of steam, or the publishing deadline comes up before he's finished so he has to scribble something, anything, to bring it to a close.
