He has written over fifty works, most horror, but some are fantasy and sci fi (I'm looking at the dark tower). He has influenced my works, and its mostly because of his convuluted writing. My favorite book of his is called "The Shining". It is about a hotel in the Colorado mountains that closes for winter, and a man takes the job of caring for it over this period. As he does, he becomes crazy, and it seems that ghosts are making him crazy. Or are they, was it just because he was going crazy himself? Most of you have probably seen the movie, but it does not compare to the sheer power of the book. It left you toying with the concept, wondering why Jack tried to kill his wife and son. This has been an influence on me deeply. Leaving the reader to figure something out is a great way to make you feel somewhat involved in the story, allows you to work on background stories yourself. And when you read a book, and there are still questions in your head, you know the author did his job. His Dark tower books are also a huge part of what makes him my favorite author. They mixed in with most of his books, which was really neat. Never has an author made books that were completely different, and been able to tie them together. He even included himself in the story! An amazing series that only Stephen King could write. So, if you have never read a book by him, try his works. He is one of the best authors you will ever read. __________________________________________________________________________________ ----Stories---- ----Oceans---- As I write this on the sand using blood from the back of my hand I look at the neverending ocean It waves come down and lap at my feet It provides me with fish to eat The abandoned island I stand on today could easily get washed away The plane crashed here several days ago I was working on a travel channel show The turbines sucked in a bird And a whining the pilot heard We crashed into the islands mountains The plane created a water fountain I got out nearly every bone broken I got to the sand, my whole body sodden Please help me I am starving bad If I die I will not be too sad its the way the world works, can't play with god So to my cave, before night falls, I'll trod. __________________________________________________________________________________ WANT TO CONTRIBUTE?
