Stephen King – The Master

Bill's Blog Shorts: Check 'em out. You never know what's in 'em.

My website features a look at four authors who I greatly admire. At the top of the list is Stephen King – The Master. Too easy? Naw. Believe it or not, there are actually some people who don't like King's work. Whether it be because they don't like horror, supernatural, sci-fi, suspense, or scenes that depict people sticking their hand in a garbage disposal, who knows? But if you want to see how a master commands the written word and transforms sentences into works of art, I suggest you read "11/22/63" – just to pick one of his more recent works. If you are a writer and have not yet purchased "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft," do so! Now! Otherwise a crazy clown monster will come and eat your babies. You've been warned.
