You guys should try Dan Simmons' horror. Summer of Night, A Winter Haunting, Carrion Comfort, Children of the Night. Good stuff.
As for the original subject, yes, King tends to turn out a lot of material that is merely average. Most prolific authors tend to hit the same high points over and over -- Koontz is a prime example. Look at all the "alien terrorizes family" or "psycho terrorizes a single person" stuff he's done of late. Your freshest work is always going to be the stuff you did early on, before you slipped into a groove. That's why I'm happy Simmons has switched over to SF.
