How Stephen King Delivers Horror

his endings can be flopped though other times they're extraordinary 11 22 63 in my opinion

if you want to switch over to another stephen king work like it where pennywise is standing in broad daylight and in front of the children he's terrifying he's quickly and often just painted away and you understand what exactly is there

not one of them four dollar words no overly flowery descriptions just a almost dry statement of what's happening and yet it pulls you in as the reader

it's almost like this meta fog king often puts into his texts that i notice i especially saw it a lot in pet cemetery where he has a lot of just little words descriptors that whether you can exactly understand what he's conveying or not it's just enough detail that you can feel the wrongness

it's such a brief bit and yet it paints such a vivid picture and it's such a clear concise sequence it's honestly one of the scariest things i've ever read

i still think about many scenes from the stand every time people are talking with me about effective horror because they just stand out they stand as next level
