At least he gave us a good ride getting there though.Adie Stonehttp://facebook.com/adiestonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83981725717101408.post-67872224074494990442012-12-11T17:51:54.175-08:002012-12-11T17:51:54.175-08:00You're right, he seems to botch the ending, bu...You're right, he seems to botch the ending, but what a way to build towards it, long winded stories. The short stories are good, right to the point and many are bleak as hell.

Take 'Thinner' for example. A pie is baked for the gypsy and the curse is lifted. Simple as that.<br /><br />Or 'It' where Pennywise turns into a Spider Alien which none of the now adults are scared of any more and manage to kill easily. For some reason after 30 years this evil clown decides to stop hunting through peoples worst fears and just becomes itself. Even the dead lights are scarier than that.<br /><br />However in his short stories his endings are great, I think for them he does just what I do when writing a short; gets it done.<br />He doesn't detail every single little thing and tries to think of some out of character ending.<br />I own all of his short story anthology books and I'm still returning to them to this day. <br /><br />Stephen King is definitely one of the kings of horror, knowing what actual horror is and it not always being monsters, ghosts and ghouls.<br />Alongside people such as Clive Barker and Koji Suzuki.<br /><br />Adie Stonehttp://facebook.com/adiestonenoreply@blogger.com
