The guy was cranking out multiple books a year.

During the 80s, there was a gentleman's agreement for book publishers to only release so many books under an author a year. King wrote so much that he had to find other places that would publish his work. So to not upset King, they published it anyways. He published like 19 novels and a crazy amount of short stories in the 80s.

Cocaine explains it.
