Personally, I think that after 'Misery', Mr. King went down hill. For me, the shorter books have worked the best
It seems (to me) that since then, he was 'getting paid by the word', and so was just introducing characters (and by definition making his books longer and longer) for the hell of it
I also think that because he is so popular, his editor is too scared to stand up to him, and suggest that he take out all the the material which is not needed in the books!!!!
For the record, the books that I have enjoyed reading are:
'Salem's Lot
The Shining
Night Shift
The Stand - full version especially
Danse Macabre
Creepshow comic book
Different Seasons
The Talisman
Skeleton Crew
It
The Eyes of the Dragon
Misery
