    To be fair, he was drowning in cocaine when writing that book, so he managed to keep the lid on it to the best of his abilities.

      Ah. This is why everyone posting cocaine.

      I was trying to figure out how a bunch of tweens stuck in the sewer got a hold of enough cocaine to think an orgy would help their cause.

        According to King, at the height of his cocaine use he wrote the entire novel Cujo and doesn’t remember writing it at all.

        You could also make a strong case that the director credit for the movie Maximum Overdrive should go to cocaine rather than King lol.
