Answer:

Stephen King is an American author best known for writing dominantly in the horror genre. While his work is widely regarded as lazy, for people who crave a cheap scare, I would argue that his writing is so much more.

First off, his absolute mastery of writing has made him one of the best authors of all time, no matter what genre he writes in. Not a single book I’ve ever read of his failed to captivate me, which is the result of a culmination of techniques that he has mastered over all his years of writing. His pacing perfectly encourages the plot to move along. Horror or not, his writing technique stays incredible.
