Stephen King blasts Stephanie Meyer, the author of Twilight. USA Weekend is told by King that Meyer who is considered to be the best selling writer is not very good. The interview is to be published in the issue of March 6-8 as the cover story.
Stephen King of the few last decades is considered to be novelists who have been most successful. He is famous for writing tales that are blood-soaked with supernatural beings and creepy monsters. Meyer, on the other side, tries out her hand writing about kingdom of vampires, bloodletting and werewolves. So why is King not liking Meyer?
King told the magazine of USA Weekend the difference between Stephenie Meyer and Jo Rowling. The interview would be published in the issue of March 6-8 as the cover story. A scandalous swipe was taken by King at the author of Twilight while answering the innocent question of whether his professional career has influenced the artists who are younger in a similar manner as he in his youth was influenced.
King told that his works has a type of formative influence. He was influenced the same way by reading the books of Richard Matheson. The books of H.P. Lovecraft were read by kid. But King actually never had the pleasure while reading Lovecrafts books. The language in the books of Lovecraft was chiller than his heart was. Matheson when began to write on ordinary stuff and people, it was then liked by him.
King explained the way to do the things. He appreciated the author of I Am Legend and compared his positive reception to the manner the Harry Potter and Twilight authors have been influenced by him. He considered himself good for having served that idea for few writers.
King also compares in the article Meyer the Twilight queen with Perry Mason another successful but yet not quite good author. He told that Meyers stories are being written for girls and for opening up to join sex and love in the books.
While explaining the success of Meyer, King told that the fans of Twilight are actually not ready for the portrayal of adult and real romance. It is said to be thrilling and exciting but not threatening particularly for they arent openly sexual.
Big head, Mr. King? OMG! I just finished Twilight, and I thought it was very suspenseful! More than any of his books of late. It was refreshing to read a book without every other word being the F-bomb. Does he really think he has been the influence for all young writers? Is it on record that he influenced Harry Potter, or does he just believe he did?
I know one thing, I can't hand a Stephen King novel to my 12yo DS, like I handed him Twilight this morning!

It was so awful.
, while Meyers gets 1 atta girl for having the skills she does have in order to write the books she has and 1 keep working on those writting skills and fine tune them.
