Stephen King has done more for the horror genre than Memecraft. Prove me wrong, kids.

they're both garbage authors with somewhat interesting ideas

What do you mean by "done more"?

He's sold a lot more books than Lovecraft, that's for damn sure.

But has he made a seminal contribution to the genre equivalent to Lovecraft's?

That's very doubtful, senpai.

Hey there Veeky Forums! Write my essay for me!

>muh indescribable horror man

Reddit is that way

>never read lovecraft

But do cute girls read King?

>cute

do other authors do king pastiche?

have other authors been influenced by king and if so how?

actual questions

king himself has veered into lovecraft pastiche (and ive read only a tiny percentage of his writing) so my baseline is no, lovecraft has done more, since even king has imitated him

King has done more for the airport novel than Lovecraft. Prove me wrong.

There is literally nothing wrong with airport fiction.

That King's face will never appear on one of these is proof enough.

Thanks for telling us that you've never been around women at all, since even the most basic bitch LOVES King OMG

at least Lovecraft is more relatable

>lived in his aunt's basement
>obsessed with cats
>looked like Frankenstein's monster from the nose down
>barely any dialogue in his books/retarded dialogue because he literally doesn't know what humans talking to each other sounds like

also Innsmouth made me doodle lots of fish people and I like doing that. The story was a bit shit but I liked the fish people.

>>looked like Frankenstein's monster from the nose down
rude

King doesn't need Library of America when there's Penguin.

Didn't Lovecraft depict African Americans as less then human in his books?

>t.

King's use of magic negroes in his stories is nothing to brag about either. However it's a separate issue from who has done more for the horror genre.

It's only fair to compare Lovecraft's Easter Island statue of a head to an adonis like Stephen King whose face looks like it was sculpted in play-doh.

The greatest thing they have done for horror is showing their faces in public
