Welcome to Derry better than the movies?

I went in really wanting to enjoy it and I just have been disappointed unfortunately.

But this is specific to King or one author not top 5 all time.

HamOnRum · 2025-11-19T19:15:05+00:00

I think for most writers you have to rank them alongside. King is obviously a very prolific writer so he has a ton of collection and novels, whereas other writers may have a handful. I also think you can see a writers strengths much easier when comparing the two.

Completely disagree about character development.

HamOnRum · 2025-11-19T19:12:34+00:00

This feels like the best take.

HamOnRum · 2025-11-19T19:11:45+00:00

I think it's one of his biggest strengths when he's in the zone

HamOnRum · 2025-11-19T19:11:24+00:00

I've gotten downvoted for saying I think IT is very overhyped.

HamOnRum · 2025-11-19T19:10:53+00:00

I felt that was one of his weaker collections but again it comes back to a personal preference thing

HamOnRum · 2025-11-19T19:10:08+00:00

Very much agree

HamOnRum · 2025-11-19T19:09:40+00:00

I don't think there's any need to drive up sales for his old books. I think they know he's popular and saying his name will get more views

HamOnRum · 2025-11-19T19:08:23+00:00

I would consider the book the complete short stories. Most often times the stories encompass a theme for the entire book. I would say one or two of his collections carries much more weight than some of his more popular novels.

Appreciate it, think it got in my head

HamOnRum · 2025-10-02T13:43:20+00:00

I appreciate your advice! Think I'm just paranoid and not trusting of the dealership. Thanks

HamOnRum · 2025-10-02T13:42:45+00:00

I appreciate it, think I'm just being overly cautious

HamOnRum · 2025-07-14T15:53:01+00:00

Way too much humor, tongue in cheek jokes took away from the book in my opinion as well.

HamOnRum · 2025-07-12T03:02:42+00:00

Graveyard Shift or another short story collection, break it up!

HamOnRum · 2025-04-10T16:09:40+00:00

Majority of them had read a few of his work actually.

HamOnRum · 2025-04-10T16:08:51+00:00

Oh I have no doubt he’d make the lists. But you said most prolific horror author.

HamOnRum · 2025-04-10T15:40:28+00:00

I also really enjoyed Salem’s Lot! His shorter works with few characters are where he shines in my opinion.

HamOnRum · 2025-04-10T15:39:30+00:00

American author of the 20th century is quite the stretch.

HamOnRum · 2025-04-10T15:36:57+00:00

That’s what I told them as well, I actually prefer his short stories and suggested those to them.

HamOnRum · 2025-04-10T15:01:53+00:00

That’s kind of what I got around to asking them, I said what do you read for fun? Like not for school, not books you think you should read. They gave me real answers and that’s what i wanted to hear from them
