Incredible post. I wonder if you could read just those characters' chapters and the novel would still make sense, or if it would need some reworking to fit.
What did you think about this?

I read an old library copy with all the font really faded except the A, so I thought it was just called A until I felt the raised letters.
It was good for about the first 2/3, and then he did the usual thing where he mucked up the ending.

The absolute madman
I remember the early days of Veeky Forums when Stephen King would post here
I wish I could time-merge early Veeky Forums with modern Veeky Forums so modern Veeky Forums could criticize Stephen King to his face.
I think this is the only book I stopped reading because it was so fucking boring and strung out. Stopped somewhere where the main guy was wandering for like 100 pages.
I did like the doomed lady in the city though.
What did he post about?
That book somehow manages to be even campier and more ridiculous than The Stand.
he almost entirely just wanted to talk about himself and his books, if you asked him about a bad book he wrote he shrugged it off if you asked him about another book he would either tell you that
>you don't understand it
>he likes it and talks about how awesome he was writing it
>suggestive shilling ie. "you could read more of my books"
once somebody got him into an oldschool trolly Veeky Forums autismo fest but it wasn't very fun because King was in the right and the troll was just a shithead instead of making an effective point
>campier and more ridiculous than The Stand
So is it any good? I'm usually down for something a little campy/pulpy.
