      He got sober. The books he wrote while he was high as a kite in the 70s and 80s are really good. After that… well, good for his mental and physical well being but bad for his writing.

      What’s incredible about The Gunslinger is how he weaves together post-apocalyptic horror, high fantasy / Arthurian legend, and a spaghetti western all into one package… and it works.
