I don’t think you’re a good fit for a bookstore manager.
Comment on It's because of Gerald's Game, isn't it?

So, if the author is prominently featured on the cover of a book, how hard is it to not pickup or buy a book by an author you don’t care for?
I mean, you have to at least be able to read before there’s any point in buying a book, unless you need toilet paper in a compact portable form and then the author really doesn’t matter…
Anyone?

The reason there were so many movies based on Stephen King works for so long is both because he has a large catalogue and because up until the last couple of years if you met certain criteria you could license a bunch of his stuff for $1. He had a whole program set up for it that only ended because the woman who was in charge of it since the very beginning finally retired.

Stephen King has written a lot of books, and a lot of shops promote those books far more than others.
This is just a nice way to give other authors a bit of promotion, I think even Stephen King himself wouldn’t be opposed to this.
