Don't despair, your mother loves you. Don't be proud, because she has to.

Too, I don't know...masturbatory. "Hey, I'm going to write a series where I, Stephen King, am god. Or a living MacGuffin. I haven't decided yet. Hey, is that a van?"

The characters that occupy that atmosphere and the resolution of the plot after all that build up is a completely different matter...
