You always have to ask if Stephen King ever knew he’d be one of the biggest names in the genre of horror, I mean, he was writing from a young age after all. Did he think he’d ever become the name everyone thinks of when they think of horror? I wonder sometimes.

@octaviusroosevelt7355 2 года назад

A lot of other horror authors didn't even become famous until after their death. King really got lucky there.

I have an ability to see spirit world and have seen some nasty looking and rather unique creatures, and was really surprised to later discover that King described identical looking ones in his books. To me it proves that they really exist, whether he realises it or not. My guess is that there's something more going on than him just making those monsters up. He's aware of them too, or even can see them.
