I don't like Stephen King. His books have stupid premises and I think he's probably a pedophile, honestly. Why'd he feel the need to write a sewer orgy between a bunch of kids?

When are we as a culture going to stop throwing around baseless allegations of pedophilia?

I dunno man, I've never felt like entertaining myself or readers with an underage orgy. Shit like that doesn't cross my mind.

Nor have I, but I have written other disturbing scenes in my life. It doesn’t mean I want to commit murder. I don’t know why people have so much difficulty separating an artist from the art.
And meanwhile, we got jokers running around accusing people of pedophilia because they don’t know the difference between art and artist.

Little known fact, but Agatha Christie was a prolific serial killer.

And let’s not get started on Jessica Fletcher.

I don’t think he is a pedophile; I just think he has an extremely dirty mind. He seems like one of those people who will turn anything into a double entendre and will somehow inject something inappropriately sexual into almost every conversation. We all know someone like that.

I was just kind of open-mouthed while I realized what I was reading and then closed the book.

It's not so much a triggering thing, just... surprise I guess. I'd always heard about what a good author King was and then I was reading this drivel. Christine wasn't any better.
A book that I enjoyed that you can do the same with is literally any of them from the "Earth Children" series. The most well known from that would be Clan of the Cavebear. But there are pages and pages of beautiful descriptions about the world around the main protagonist (and a few uh, just straight animal sex scenes. I remember one with a mamoth in particular...) that overall add nothing to the story that you can skip. Fantastic books otherwise.
