Yeah, horror writers usually scare easily, that’s where their ideas come from.
For example, Stephan King is afraid of cars among other things, that’s where Christine and Maximum Overdrive comes from. (Ironically, he also almost died being struck by a car. I doubt that alleviated his fear.)
cars are a bafflingly rare fear honestly, they’re 3-ton vehicles that regularly whoosh past people at high speeds and have no actual mechanism to prevent being driven by drunk people other than them not wanting to risk being arrested
Misery was about his drug addiction. Drugs were the superfan. They’re always there to celebrate your victories and always there to rip you to shreds at a moment’s notice.

You don’t drunk drive because you fear being arrested.
I don’t drunk drive because I fear killing someone since the cops would never arrest my non-black ass.
We are not the same.

Well, that and the fact he had incidents with at least two crazy super-fans, one who actually broke into his home, where only his wife was present.
He also met Mark David Chapman a few months before Chapman killed John Lennon where he told King he was his biggest fan.
