Stephen King's next...
This seems odd. Which for King is saying something.

Last couple of King books I bought, I never finished. Sadness.

That IS odd. Most of his stories take place in Castle Rock.

Interesting premise. I haven't read a Stephen King book since the ending of It offended the hell out of me, but if this gets good reviews I might give it a shot.
Does King still take a great 500 page book and make it 1,000 pages long? |

His last that I read was Under the Dome, which was his best book in years until he completely ruined it in the last hundred pages. |

It''s like he gets sick of writing and all of a sudden says "**** it, I'm done writing this bitch!". He's the reason I haven't read fiction in 10+ years. Well, that and there's a whole lot of cool true stories out there to be read. |

I like his short stories better than when he tries to go Epic.

Have to agree with this. Survivor Type is is one short, instant, fireball of pure emotion (for me as a reader). One of my all time favorites.

That was gross and wrong, written back when King still had his full power.

And yet the character was so ****ing deadpan it was brilliant. You're right, that was King being King. If people wanted him to have an editor to keep him from being "too crazy" back then, this story would never have been published.
