Just finished The Weight of Blood by McHugh and now reading The Winter People by McMahon.
I read Stephen King over ten years ago, nothing recently, but the one that kind of stuck with me is Needful Things. I'm not even sure it was that good, but the premise of what would you do to obtain you strongest desire interests me. I remember reading the Stand, but there was so much going on that it is hard for me to recall the details fifteen years later.
Here's my take on King. His writing is great. Conversational and flows. At times it feels like he's sitting there and recounting the story by fireside. The problem is, and this is personal opinion, but he must write a book on every idea that pops in his head. If you take his catalogue and cut it by 2/3rds I would argue it would actually be stronger overall.
