You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants

Stephen King, the master of horror and suspense, is not typically associated with laughter. However, the quote “You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants” perfectly encapsulates the unexpected moments of humor that can be found in King’s works.

While King is known for his ability to terrify readers with his vivid descriptions of monsters, ghosts, and other supernatural beings, he also has a knack for injecting humor into his stories. Whether it’s through witty dialogue, dark humor, or absurd situations, King’s writing often contains moments that make readers chuckle even as they grip the edge of their seats in fear.

One of the best examples of King’s ability to blend horror and humor is his novel “It.” The story of a group of children who must face off against a malevolent entity that takes the form of a clown, “It” is a terrifying tale that explores themes of childhood trauma and the power of friendship. However, amidst the scares and the tension, King also includes moments of levity that provide much-needed relief for both the characters and the readers.
