Remember when Stephen King recently attacked author James Patterson, saying how he has no respect for Patterson's work? Well, our eagle-eyed reader Angie Thomson spotted Patterson's response to King's vicious literary attack. In the middle of a review of the new film 1408 (which is based on a Stephen King story), Patterson said:
"1408 - Recently Stephen King commented that he doesn't have any respect for me.
Doesn't make too much sense-I'm a good dad, a nice husband-my only crime is
I've sold millions of books. As far as 1408 goes, what can I say, I
liked it-the first third is especially fine. I'm a John Cusack fan and,
in terms of the books anyway, a Stephen King fan, too."
It's all quite odd -- why in the world would Stephen King say such a thing in the first place?
