I've always enjoit his short stories. Night Shift and Skeleton Crew are great, I've only read some of You Like It Darker but those are good too. His novels are very hit or miss because they meander a lot and have weird endings, especially in his coke and booze days.

Also one of my friends hates his writing and finds the characters utterly unbelievable but I am from New England and those people always ring true to me.

Also vinegar on chippy chips is delicious

Malt vinegar and distilled white vinegar are not the same thing, one is for putting on your fish and chips and the other is used for cleaning and pickling.

>>22012295
salt & vinegar chips are normally made with white vinegar though. it's good. it's not malt vinegar good, but it's still good.

>>22012298
Yeah but we're talking about french fries which are served hot, if you put regular white vinegar on em you'd just burn your nostrils with every bite.

I found a garbage bag full of books when I was in high school. That and It were in there as well as Sleepers, The Poison Tree and a few other books from the 90s and earlier. Good haul.

Fries and vinegar is pretty fucking common, bruh.

>>22011646
If you parboil your fries in water with a tablespoon of vinegar before frying them, yes they're good.

>>22011646
it has the ring of truth. i bet boomers used to do this. white vinegar would be very strong and tangy and i could see it working

He's not, at all.
His problem is that he writes WAY too much and the best gets scattered. He's been banging out publishable work for 8 hours a day for 50 years. Novels, novellas, short stories, scripts, research, editorials, hobbyist interests, critiques, 20-page forwards for the book of some rando he talked to for five minutes at a conference... hell, the dude is even a top tier twitter shitposter troll. He published under a pseudonym because he was putting out too much work an the suits were worried about oversaturation; then got publicly called out, said, "lol, yeah, that's me" then kept doing it for the lulz.
It got "worse" when he got clean, basically traded substance addiction for writing addiction.
It's like this:
>single shot pistol sharpshooter competition
>King steps up
>aims his shotgun
>fucking birdshot everywhere
>nails the target like 15 times with one shot
>and one of the judges
>couple spectators too
>judges blowing whistles like madmen
>waving arms for stoppage
>King pumps shotgun
>takes aim again

The problem with a lot of King novels are the endings.

>>22011646
Malt Vinegar is good

>The problem with a lot of King novels are the endings
I think it's more of an issue of people's willingness to accept that the book they've come to love is ending than the words on the page.

People frequently use "IT" as an example of a bad ending. It's not a bad ending, it finalized the one thing that was reiterated over-and-over throughout the book.
IT wasn't about a giant kung fu battle royale with interdimensional space gods while an orchestral score's crescendo peaks as the sunset hits the protagonists.
IT was about people being absolutely terrified to confront the uncomfortable shit (pretty fucking on point for someone who was just about to address his addictions).
>what's wrong?
>i don't want to talk about "it"
IT, Pennywise, was the literal monstrous personification of the major thematic element which the characters were trying to overcome. Fucking classical storytelling genius shit right there. Characters and story so fleshed out and horrific that it enthralled most and they missed it.
Then, what happens when IT is finally confront and crushed? The whole town literally blows its top and... two seconds later it's fine. We're fine, it's fine, so, anyway, wanna go ride bikes or whatever?
Which is fucking perfect. That's exactly how it always is - the childish anxiety and secret bearing and dread of revelation is always the worse than shit hitting the fan.

Dude spends entire books cooking a perfect quiche and every damn time and half the audience
>i saw eggs, where's the omelette?
>can i have bacon with my scrambled eggs
>my other favorite writer always has pancakes with eggs
>are you making a pie?
>i want scrambled eggs if you're still making them
>yeah, me too, make my scrambled eggs over easy
then King takes the quiche out of the oven
>i thought you said you weren't making a pie
it's not technically a pie, it's quiche. it's eggs and other ingredients, baked, often in a pie crust...
>you put eggs in pie?! that's my classic master of horror

>>22011646
I don't know if I would pair it with anything, but white vinegar is crucial for poached eggs.

It's okay, but this is what you really want to use. I'm guessing white vinegar was more common in new england or the northeast at some point. The Brits do malt vinegar and frankly they got it right the first time.

>>22011646
You're supposed to use malt vinegar on fries. White vinegar, however, is great for dunking pork rinds. A filipino mail order bride taught me that.

>The whole town literally blows its top and... two seconds later it's fine.
That's not what happens. You may need to reread the book.

>>22014920
malt vinegar on fries, hashies, and battered fish is just unrivaled.

and don't forget to drizzle some on your mushy peas as well

White vinegar is pure acetic acid without the tasty volitle organic compounds that make malt vinegar (and other "natural vinegars) fragrant
