    We don’t need to worry about the files being released cuz the ego of everyone that could be in them is probably big enough that they’ll all tell on themselves in due time anyway.

    He’s saying that it was a ruse Trump lied about on the campaign trail to gerner support.

    But he’s saying it in the worst possible way.

    You mean the guy that wrote the child gang bang scene in It is a pedo? Wild.

    Jokes aside, this is disappointing.

    If he’s not on it then saying this just makes him suspicious for no reason, would’ve been better off not saying anything. If he is on it, that would explain some things.

      He is writing a new book that is titled like an autobiography but actually horror fiction about the reality we are in. This is just part of the marketing for said book.

        Yeah the last few years his book bug the shit out of me. I read fiction to turn off the real world. Instead he mixes the two. I love the Holly character but goddamn Stephen they don’t have live in out universe. Take Jonathan Kellerman abd the Alex Delaware novels. Set it LA not once brings up Trump or Covid. Just a good old detective novel. But it too gone down hill. His books used to be detailed filled and I can remember the plots and everything. Now he just turning out quick stories that aren’t all that exciting when you find out who done it.

        This post makes me sad, as a huge Stephen King fan (I have just about everyome in Hardback no less) I really hope his comment is sarcasm anc please tell me he isn’t on that list? Hell my son got into collecting his books too. We also were getting ready to watch that new show The Institute on MGM plus.

      Bro was already a known sex pest with a public history of addiction this isn’t surprising.

      Something something “author’s barely concealed fetish” etc

        Addiction, yes, that’s well documented. But what’s this about being a known sex pest?

        I’m not saying you’re wrong, he’s got lots of money and has authored a few wonky sex scenes in his books throughout the years (obviously up to and including the kids at the end of IT), so it’s certainly possible.

        But I’ve never seen his name come up in any real life stories about this. Just got a few pages down into a DDG search for “Stephen king accused” and found nothing. There was a “top 12 Stephen king controversies” article that made no mention of any sexual allegations outside of the IT scene and him apparently arguing against the cancellation of a Woody Allen biography on censorship grounds.

        Do you have any sources for your “known sex pest” claim?

          As a passage into adulthood ritual or some other mescaline fueled nonsense the boys run a train on the girl.

          No spoiler tag. Now everyone must bear this cursed knowledge of a thirty year old book.

            Worth being clear that all the people in question are between 10 and 13.

            I actually never read the book, but heard of that one scene and can’t imagine it would have felt like it should have fit in, and really should have raised more questions about… Everything really.

    So Republicans just spent loads of political capital and pissed off their base to block the release of nothing at all? They must be huge morons then.

    Honestly, I’m not sure why people are just now realizing he is a POS. He didn’t get half a billion by being a nice person.
