I don't give a cap what this man has to say... and unrelated. ... his books sucks anyway.

 

[mg42doc]

hack writer who can get armed security whenever he wants it. Must be nice.

 

[Lip]

His last readable book was the stand. that was 20+ years ago. Koontz is by far the better writer.

[Infinite Jester]

Hasn't been relevant to me since I read my last book of his when I was 15. Moved on to grown up stuff.

 

[JDubs]

Have not seen a good book from this chump in decades. One could easily argue this man's books filled with violence and obscene acts against our fellow man has influenced violent culture way more than the firearms owned by law abiding citizens, the "NRA- types". Hypocrite!

 

[hennypenny]

Happy Holidays! Even to Stephen King types.

 

[carbuncle]

The last book I read by King was Tommyknockers, when it came out. Terrrible, I gave up after that. Had some cool stuff early on, but he was a one-trick pony that didn't make it out of the 80s.

Whenever you get depressed remember, things could be worse...you could look like that guy. Imagine the horror he feels every morning when he has to look in the mirror?

 

[HuntMaine]

Screw him, he doesnt represent maine in any way, ahole

 

[fencer]

I am SO gonna sign him up for an NRA membership....

Writes Christine ,gets run over by a car.
Karma.

Hopefully his next book will be about a soccer mom that goes apeshit on bad authors.

Getting hit by that car was traumatic for him, as it would be for any of us. Don't be so hard on him. I think he is a card or two short of a deck.

He was an anti-gun DB before he got hit by the car.

King is a hypocrite, and not a particularly good writer, I haven't bought any of his books since "The Stand". Lately he labels himself a "responsible gun owner", says he owns 3 guns but nobody needs semi-auto, etc. Likes to pontificate about this on twitter because anything he writes longer than 140 bytes rapidly drifts into unreadability.

If you get a chance, dig out a copy of My Little Serrated Security Blanket from 1995:

This brings me to a new conclusion: What I really feel when I hold this in my hand isn't so much the possibility of murder as the gravity of mortal things. It speaks to me of the vulnerability of human flesh, but also of the resilience and determination of the human mind: Lying on my desk, it whispers, "If you need me, I'll be there...

... But I keep the Predator under my bed. Why not? One never knows when one might need a good tool, the sort of thing that might make the difference between life and death.

My view of this hack author is summed up in my sig:

"New Hampshire is the center of craziness here. I don't even like to go through there. It's like I hold my breath. That's the state where the governor, three or four years ago, tried to get tactical nuclear weapons for the national guard" - Stephen King, 1980​

Happy Holidays, especially to guys that drive vans!!

 

[widnerkj]

even more reason to dislike him. didn't like his books.

 

[In God We Trust]

I'm listening to Insomnia right now. Great book.

If we boycott all the antis and their companies/products, we would be living in caves wearing bear skins. WGAF what he thinks?

 

[fitzknny]

Wasn't he almost "road kill" ? I'm suprised he use his "writing "skills to hate on guns, when he should go after cars !

 

[Kissfan07]

Great writer. All of his newer stuff has been fantastic, especially his rewriting of the Kennedy assassination.

 

[In God We Trust]

Great writer. All of his newer stuff has been fantastic, especially his rewriting of the Kennedy assassination.

I think I have read every book he has written. One of my favorite authors.

After he first got sober, his books kind of sucked for a while but his newer stuff has been great. "Revival" was the best one he put out in a while in my opinion.

He really doesn't know jack shit about firearms however. In a recent book he said something about switching the safety off a Glock. [emoji23]

 

[cfbackrow]

who gives a crap what he says anyways?

 

[W.E.C]

Virtue signaling on social media,
hey look at me, I'm a good guy.

Recycles inane platitude.

 

[Chevy 2 65]

eat poop Steve

And that right there is why we will always be on the defense.

 

[Shark_Cage]

Say him in person once, Ouch.

 

[In God We Trust]

And that right there is why we will always be on the defense.

Not really, but +1 NES cred for finding the source of such a complex problem so easily

 

[Apcsox]

Ironic from the man who wrote the entire Dark Tower series, whose main protagonist is a gunslinger.....
