King could keep away from actively publishing new works about as well as Art Bell could stay off of the air or Michael Jordan could stay off of the courts. 
I used to be a huge King fan, but he lost me with the one with the UFO buried in the backyard and the woman's pubic hair turning green and leafy. I can't remember which one that was ("It"?) but at that point it seemed to me like he was grasping far too much for new material and needed to take a serious breather.
I loved his children's book though ("Eyes of the Dragon"), I wish he'd do more of those.

That book was "Tommyknockers" - probably my least favorite book by King
That was written during his um ... substance abuse period (he writes about that in the non fiction book about the craft of writing "On Writing")
I enjoy King's newer work the most as he's writing about people in interesting situations as opposed to writing about terror/horror with interesting people
