I know that, still the question is why is he on a list of his father?
This list is about King & not about his collab with others.
(There seems to be Straub in here, too, so I guees it must be collaborations.)

I think that it is also with some of the other authors that he has written with... I have also heard the Stephen King even writes as Peter Straub... But I don't know about that.... But they are probably trying to add some of the books that he has helped other authors write as well

I think you rather mean Richard Bachman, an 'alter ego' of King, that would be okay. But Straub is someone(and yes he is an entirely other human being, so not a pen name) with whom he has co-written. :)

I am your biggest fan Mr. King, I am so glad I was born in the era with him as an author. If I didn't know better I think he was the 1 who wrote ( The book of Revolations ) for the Bible. And I 'd love to know how much of Lisey's Story - did he live. I read it when it 1st came out. it's his only book that haunts my dream & soul, there is just something about that story that make's me wonder.

I grew up reading Stephen King. Even now, his work still amazes me. He is the only author who has truly scared me from his books :) (That's a good thing). 'Salem's Lot is my all time favorite. This is when the best vampire book was ever written! Thank you Mr. King, my favorite author, for the hours of joy (and terror) I've had reading your novels.

The #35 and #36 books on this list are ones that Stephen King himself stated are badly written.

On #35 Stephen King has stated that their has to be a 300 page novel in here somewhere.
