Best Answer

Stephen King writes from the gut, not the mind. Language is far less important that the story, and maddening, steadily increasing suspense/anticipation is more effective than page after page of overdescriptive gore.

Try picking up his 2001 book "On Writing" - it will tell you better than anyone else can how to write like the great man himself.
