Ahh, Stephen King...

Did you know that he was abusing drugs to keep up with his writing? And not with soft ones either - more like cocaine etc.

I felt like that explained his writing style pretty well Once I kept that in mind while reading his works.

He'd probably have been even better if he hadn't used these drugs, but also wouldn't have published even half as many books.
