I kinda want to see what the later stories are about as I do have some fondness for Castle Rock. Stand by Me was one of my favorite films as a kid, one of my short list of tapes I was renting just all the goddamn time. When I eventually read Different Seasons I was hooked. There was a stretch there where I was just reading everything he'd ever done one after another after another. I really liked how some of his stories were very lightly interwoven, that they took place in the same world. I didn't have much experience as a reader and it that was the first time I really came across that concept. Sadly it would be a huge part of what I would come to hate about The Dark Tower series upon its conclusion. It was such a letdown.
The most recent book of his that I've read was Full Dark No Stars and I fucking hated it. Before that was Doctor Sleep and it wasn't awful but it was just plagued with some of the problems his writing always has - the villain is really dumb and his final confrontations/ battles are assy. After reading through stuff like The Dresden Files or Game of Thrones I have some high expectations when it comes to action scenes and King's action writing has always been whatever.
Will still probably watch this show though when I have a chance. Even if I don't like contemporary King and his tweeter feed is poop I'm still not against checking out stuff with his name attached. I thought Gerald's Game on Netflix was pretty great aside from the last 15 minutes. Even that fit as King tends to not end stories all that well.
