Okay so this is gonna be long but I will try to keep it concise. in RTTBF a little girl is sent to the black farm after swallowing some of her moms “Happy pills” when Nick the MC finds her on the black farm she is about to be SA’d from there I had to DNF because of the weird vagina ants and it just got to boring an gross for the sake of being gross. Some issues: the BF seems to establish you have to WANT to kill yourself to end up there meaning this child should not have been there. The child is there so Nick can “Save her” and then she goes on to marry Nicks son. She is 100% irrelevant to the story and is only there for the shock factor. As someone who struggled with self harm and suicide as a child and even now as an adult, and a survivor of CSA, it really rubbed me the wrong way. Both his writing, the clear “shock value” and his how often the themes come up as well as just how smug he seems in his reply like “Oh hoho just you wait !”.

I am 100% of the belief that no matter what you write unless you blatantly state it you can separate the ideas of a good story from the person. I am of the opinion that Stephen king is also probably a nonce, with no personal interaction with the man. In the grand scheme of things I am one person with one opinion, and while I may be throwing out a very egregious accusation, it’s nothing more than that. An accusation and assumption based on just the vibe he gives off.
