Stephen King - the master of horrors



There is beyond doubt that Stephen King rules..... as far as creating horrors is concerned. I would like to recommend you his books because I think his talent is amazing but at the same time lots of people do not appreciate his work...
Stephen King is not as scary as it may seem:) We should remember that his books are only fiction. I'm sure you know 'The Green Mile', either the book or the film. It's a very touching story about a black man condemned to death unjustly. And in spite of the fact that it's Stephen King's book it's not so appaling. There are more books written by Stephen King which are worth recommendation. Among these are: 'The dark half', 'Salem's Lot', 'Cujo' or 'Misery'. By writing books, King wants to hand down a lot of ideas or show examples of moral behaviors. His books are real page-turners. If you start reading, you can't put it down. There are many film adaptaion of his novels. Almost each book has its own film version.
Stephen King has a great talent. He writes novels, non-fiction, poems, essays and short stories. He says that he has not got any problems with creating new plots. He just thinks, sits down and write. He is the MASTER:)
If you feel encouraged you can visit some websites devoted to Stephen King. Here are examples: www.stephenking.com or www.horrorking.com

Yeah, he's great. I've read 'Pet Sematary' and I'm in the middle of 'It' and I love his style. You just never know when something horrible will happen to the characters and that's great cause it keeps you on your toes till the very end :).

What did you mean that his books are not scary? I was bloody terrified while reading "Cujo" - it was the ONLY time that I was actually afraid while reading a book... A master, indeed :)))
