When looking at Stephen King's oeuvre you see that some of his most popular works contain Magical Negroes and/or some sort of non-white mysticism. Now before anyone starts—I AM NOT CALLING KING RACIST—in fact, every book I'm going to mention is one I really enjoy. That is why this topic is of interest to me.
