10 Insane And Bizarre Theories About Stephen King
7. His Alcoholism Was A Cover Up For Hiring Ghost Writers
King has been sober since his family staged an intervention in the 1980s. "The hungover eye," he said "had a weird ability to find the ugliest things in any given landscape."
Rumours around the 90s that King does have ghostwriters, he then uses alcoholism as a safety net in case he is questioned intensely about any of his writing techniques. He can then relate back to this illness at any time as a defence for not remembering the books he has supposedly written himself.
He mentions that "theres one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all. I dont say that with pride or shame, only with a vague sense of sorrow and loss. I like that book. I wish I could remember enjoying the good parts as I put them down on the page." He also mentioned in interviews that he cannot remember writing The Tommyknockers either.
Cynics still do believe that he uses ghost writers as their theory is that its impossible for one author to pen as many books as King does.
