It's no surprise Stephen King has had to look elsewhere for inspiration, considering he was for a long time a novel factory -- a book-of-the-month club in and of himself. Save for a few of his novels (The Shining, Misery, The Dead Zone, and 'Salem's Lot), I'm not much of a fan. To me, the only thing reminiscent of Tolkien in 'The Stand' is that it is long; however, Tolkien's work is long, but not interminable like King's.
