I don’t know. His books aren’t that great. His movie adaptations are just okay.
He has some early work that was good and got a lot of attention. It was back in the prime days of horror novels. Right place right time. That’s all.
With the right amount of cocaine I think you or I could probably give him a run for his money
His books are variable, but they usually have like 300 pages of genuinely good character development and scene setting, an inciting horrible incident and then another 100 pages of suspension-of-disbelief. All of the film adaptations I’ve seen are pretty bad though.
I latent agree with that for all of his books, except for the Dark Tower series. I actually think the Dark Tower series is pretty good. It’s very different from his other books though.

His early work was exceptionally good. Tommy knockers, Needful Things, Salem’s Lot, Misery, Stand By Me, were all pretty good. Not a fan of some of his latest stuff.

The Four Seasons one ia my favorite. Except for the Winter story.
