I see. Well, I guess Lovecraft isn't such a big deal since I've never heard of him, except for one or two episodes on "Supernatural". Whereas Stephen King is really the King of horror.

Your image link didn't work.

It's showing up on my screen just fine. Oh well. Here's another:

Stephen King is a hack. The only thing worse than the way he writes is the way he plots.

It works fine for me. Both of the images he posted work just fine. But it's up to the browser to decide whether there's an image or not. I'm guessing your browser can't recognize it bc the URL contains more details after the image extension and some browsers can get confused because of that. Here's the real URL that the browsers can recognize: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villai...thulhu.jpg

Jesus.....

Stephen King would be the first person to tell you that he doesn't write horror stories.

In fact, confronted with a real life tragedy....... Stephen King would be the first person to tell you that he doesn't write about that shit...at all.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Nice, that worked and is a good representation of Cthulu.

I bought this book for my kid:

He’d also tell you that no one has ever surpassed Lovecraft in the horror genre.

Of course Lovecraft isn't important if certain people haven't heard of him.
