We’re All In This Together – Owen King
January 16, 2008I’m sort of cheating with this, because it’s a collection with a novella and short stories, and I read the novella in 2007 and just picked it up to read the stories because I was looking for something short until my next selection came from Bookswim. I thought the novella was really sweet and well done, but the stories felt like someone trying too hard to write LITERARY FICTION for an MFA workshop. He’s Stephen’s offspring, but I still can’t give him a pass for that.
So basically if he wasn’t Stephen King’s son, this never would have been published or purchased by anyone?
Have you ever read any Tabitha King books? I have a hard time formulating an opinion of her stuff. It’s not boring, and as weird if not weirder than her husband’s work, but it’s so hard to take anything written by a (non-Steve) King family member seriously, because they basically have a lifetime free-publishing coupon.
