Haha because of the movie
I havent read King except the first DT but i dont see how a guy that might be the best selling writer in the world will be remembered only cause of a
movie version of one of his books.
There is a huge chance he will be read in 50 years. I mean he has written alot of famous books and has sold a ton.
No matter what he calls his writing fast food or not he has huge fanbase.
