Danielle Steele and Eiichiro Oda have sold more if we're just talking book sales. King isn't even close. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_fiction_authors and Oda is only 47. One Piece forever.

RL Stine has sold more than King so he isn't even the master of horror.
Success can be measured in a number of different ways. Stine has also published 400+ books (many of which are carbon copies or recycled) and while he has had some on-screen success, it doesn't even compare to what King has accomplished as far as his work translating to another medium.
well that's why I said "if we're just talking book sales" tbf. The dropoff for Rowling from HP to her other book series in sales is huge. She was doing 50 million for the HP books. Her best since then is 2 million.
Oda wins because his super fan is Minoru Suzuki and he could beat up the other authors super fans.

Danielle Steele has 25 movies guys. TWENTY FIVE!

How many of them were theatrical releases though?
Seriously has no idea this book talk would derail our discussion of the impending World War III.
No idea wiki didn't say. I'd geuss almost none.
Sometimes you need a break from the horrors of war.

IRT JK’s best selling non Harry Potter book “only” selling 2 million copies. She still sells a lot of books. Best selling book of 2021 sold 1.2 million copies. IIRC, anything over 100,000 copies sold is a successful book.

More surprised to see Dean Koontz had outsold King... and he also has had movie adaptations! Stop snubbing this poor soul as a master of horror!

Finding out Dean Koonz has outsold Stephen King is literary equivalent of finding out Hydrox came out before Oreos. WTH?

I didn't know Dean Koontz tried to remake Frankenstein (and it was adapted into a USA Network TV movie executive produced by Martin Scorsese).

Stephen King thinks Kubrick's version of The Shining is bad.
In ACTUAL Ukraine talk,
Biden slipped up (or did he?....he did) and called for Putin to be overthrown which is something the US has been going out of its way to avoid saying. So his people are scrambling to put the genie back in the bottle.
Yeah obviously everyone would LOVE for Putin to go but the problem is saying he needs to go, as the POTUS is a terrible idea. It instantly taints any effort as a US plot and anyone who does try or if they actually manage (unlikely) as a US STOOGE. It's an unforced error that gives Putin some internal help.
That said I don't think it hurts him with the AVERAGE AMERICAN that much considering they want NO FLY ZONES and to start world war 3. Tough Talk always scores well.

I was reading about the Brittney Griner situation and between that and what CWM is talking about it, it really is an infuriating reminder at how complicated and dumb diplomatic relations are. It's easy to see why people get riled up and just want to bomb crap!

He ended up adapting his idea for the show into a series of novels. Those five books are actually very good, surprisingly.

Stine wrote a He-man book back in the 80s so Stine > King.
