When you engage with another person, they have knowledge, insight, and experience into things you may not know anything about. One conversation can trigger ideas for your own writing, help you solve problems with your writing dilemmas, and gather knowledge to make your writing more interesting.
Is Stephen King a good writer?
Stephen King is a great American storyteller, right up there with Faulkner, Twain, Flannery O’Connor, etc. in my opinion, but he is the standard-bearer in contemporary horror fiction. There’s not even a close second.
Which Stephen King book should I read next?
Next, try out the first book in the Dark Tower series to see if that one grabs you (it’s not for everyone). I suggest that you leave Stephen’s collections of short stories until last. Most are very cool, but they don’t have that depth and richness that you get with a novel (however some are very scary and you wonder at the mind it takes to dream up this stuff!)
Does Stephen King personally write all of his books?
Yes, for the most part, Stephen King writes all of his books. Except for the ones co-authored with his son Joe Hill, as someone else pointed out, and with Stewart O’Nan, a fellow novelist who was/is also a Red Sox baseball team fan.
Is Stephen King a classic writer?
Yes. King is a pantser/gardener writer. He doesn’t know the end when he starts, so his stories string you along REALLY well (because that’s how he writes them) – but he never seems to nail the endings. I hated the ending of the Dark Tower series. That said, I love reading me Stephen King.
