  • Stephen King, the so-called "king of horror," has published more than 50 best-selling titles over the past 44 years. His latest, "The Outsider," explores the idea of being in two places at the same time. King joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss what sparked the idea for his new novel and the themes he explores in it.

    King is right about a book's characters doing things on their own. In one of my novels I introduced a minor character to enter the story, exposit, and exit. When it came time for the exit, I realized, "Hey, she wouldn't do that. She'd come along and continue to help." She became a major character. That was when I realized that once you've given a character a personality, everything the character does has to be consistent with that personality.

    Stephen King is a fantastic human being. The Outsider is a superb book. Those people are rude and ignorant.

    Not just horror, read Sleeping Beauties, read Mr.Mercedes, read Misery, Cell was amazing. Everything is amazing and he covers numerous genres. I've yet to read everything the man has done but will get there one day! Watching The Outsider tv series, it's brilliant. The director of the Cell film did a shoddy job, a shame as he had some good talent in the form of Cusack and Jackson. Bring on more books Mr King!

    As promised, perhaps threatened, King wrote a book based in my home state. Like the title play on S.E. Hinton's novel. And the crowd scene in front of the couthouse is one of the best written descriptive passages I've read in a long time. But noone, NOONE, Mr. King, calls Oklahoma City "Okie City", lol.

  • @brianumsteadt7690
    @brianumsteadt7690 5 років тому +1

    Oddly enough, one of his books that really frightened me was Gerald's Game. I didn't find It scary so much as I did disturbing. A lot of his other books I find more sad than anything, especially the early ones: Carrie, The Shining, Firestarter, Cujo, Bag of Bones, and Pet Semetary. Those books were tragic - especially Cujo.

  • @jrobertsapp
    @jrobertsapp 6 років тому +1

    We need to get by the definition of King as a horror writer. He has written very successfully in that genre but he writes very successfully in others as well.
