Let me tell you, that's nothing compared to the awfulness of King appearing as a major character in a book.
When I was younger, I read the book "The Long Walk" (published under King's pen name Richard Bachman), and thought it was really good. King has some misses, but when he hits he hits hard; the man really is a very good writer.

He also wrote "The Running Man" which was later made into a movie with Arnold Swartzenegger playing the main character and one called "Rage" (which he removed from publication) which dealt with a young teenager going beserk in his high school and shooting others. And there was one called Roadwork as well.
