I hated this book. I picked up The Shining for the first time in 20 years, and while it was clunkier than I remember, I still enjoyed it.
Then I read this. Is this a fluke, can King not write anymore, or did I long since outgrow him?

Don't worry, you outgrew him. King's prose reads like that one scene from South Park in which Michael Bay pitches all of his movies at once. The two are about equally talented in their respective fields.
I think he just wrote interesting things when he was a raging alcoholic. Sober he is dull, obvious, and his dialogue is some of the worst I've read in a while.
