I think Stevie King is different. Tommyknockers, which he wrote when going through one of the worst addictive periods, is horrible in my opinion. I suspect it's better if you're snorting. Obviously though, other stuff from the early years is universally regarded (by fans I mean!) as quite good. He writes a lot about the effect of being a junkie on art during the semi-autobiographical parts of the last volumes in the dark tower series. I like both stevie kings, but I'm glad he sobered up, or the king we have now might have ceased to be with us long ago.
