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.
Is it called "putting IT in"?
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?
