Looking back at some of his subject matter, the Library Policeman where a little boy is raped by an adult, that awful scene in IT (bunch of little children having a group orgy in a sewer!), the bit in The Stand where the 17 year old woman punches a baby in the face so hard its eyes swelled up, the child beaten to death in another one of his stories (can't recall which now) where his last words were "I love you daddy", Danny Torrance having his arm broken by his drunken raging writer father (back when King was doing coke and drinking heavily and his kids were young), a woman being raped so badly in The Dome that she bleeds to death through vaginal tears and so many, many more genuinely horrifying paedophilia and misogyny based violent daydreams - I am annoyed with myself for ever reading his work.
Yes, he used to be a good writer (he has lost that skill now since going insane after 2020, Holly was a boring, dreary rant about how much he hates Trump and just an endless political lecture) but there's something wrong with anyone who fixates so much on violent rape and paedophilia.
I used to think you could separate disgusting writing from being a disgusting, terrifying person. But I have learned that people really do show us who they are and that we should believe them.
Do I think that he is a paedophile rapist? I am not saying that. Just that he gives me the fucking creeps, and I do not want to be around anyone who writes about things like that for entertainment.
