King used to be known for setting an amazing story for 95% of it and having the ending fall apart. I don’t think that’s quite fair but some of his work does have weaker endings that maybe stop them at good stories rather than great/masterpieces.

This right here.

You want an example - he made a short novella - The Langoliers - which is great character building, great tension, and then we get to the reveal and the end - it is impressively awful.
