Reply to comment by Fessir in Stephen King's Dark Tower series gave me lucid dreams. Has anyone else ever encountered this, or any other weird side effects of reading good (or bad) books? by Adoniram1733

I liked Cell, I feel like it was direct inspiration for some of the story beats in The Last of Us (which was a good show).

It's not terrible, but it's also nothing I'd point to in order to convince people of King as a writer.

Ha, yeah. I would never try to convince anyone anything about Stephen King. He's written some of my favorite stories. And he's written the grossest stuff I've ever accidentally read, and you can't unread that shit. It's a mixed bag, as it is with most writers, lol.
