Stephen King used to do so much cocaine that he doesn't remember writing Cujo, Maximum Overdrive, or (I believe also?) Tommyknockers

That's actually a pretty shitty metric to gauge cocaine consumption. It's being employed here since it's supposedly a great metaphor for his writing frenzy and blood always carries a certain shock value, which is tied neatly together by the blood dripping on the typewriter.

Honestly, it's pretty easy to dry out and damage your nostrils and have your nose spill blood everywhere. The stories King tells about his addiction are far more harrowing than this banal picture.

The guy was cranking out multiple books a year.

During the 80s, there was a gentleman's agreement for book publishers to only release so many books under an author a year. King wrote so much that he had to find other places that would publish his work. So to not upset King, they published it anyways. He published like 19 novels and a crazy amount of short stories in the 80s.

Cocaine explains it.

At that point maybe he should have just tried eating it, damn.

He looks like the lovechild of

and

I read Stephen Hawking and I was like, "sure, maybe it helps with the ALS and see the universe".

A d he outright blames Maximum Overdrive on the so much cocaine, and it why he never stepped behind the camera again
