Stephen King is a prolific and talented author of over 65 novels. He is known as the “King of Horror,” a genre that is not my favorite. However, I do admire King’s writing skills, humor, and his politics. My first reading of King was The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, which was enough for many years. When I got my first Kindle in 2009 from Amazon, I downloaded Ur, a King novella that was only available in digital format, which I enjoyed. More recently, I read Billy Summers and Fairy Tale, both of which were engaging. I also read On Writing, in which King tells us about what is involved in being a best-selling author. King also wrote under a pseudonym, Richard Bachman, for several years, announcing in 1985 that Kachman’s death was from “cancer of the pseudonym.”
