It is quite improbable that a Stephen King book will ever be reprinted after it was removed off stores. Film adaptations of his works, such as “The Shining” and “IT,” have made him the “King of Horror.” His tales are among the most scary of all time.
It is not due to the book’s popularity that one of his books has become an enduring classic. The decision to remove it from publication was really made by King, who felt it was ‘the responsible thing to do.’
He wrote the novel in “a different world,” the best-selling novelist said in an essay titled “Guns” published in 2013.
I guess some high school English teacher would have sent the book to the guidance counselor immediately if it had been written today, and I would have ended up in treatment right away, he wrote.
“However, in 1965, things were different. There were no metal detectors at high school entrances and people didn’t have to remove their shoes before boarding an airplane.”
