What makes Stephen King so fascinating?

What makes Stephen King's writing so fascinating? Which writing elements does he use repeatedly?

Everyday meets eerie - mundane details create familiarity; horror breaks into everyday life. (e.g., “The lawnmower was running. Then it stopped. Something else began to live.”)

Deep character development - long, intimate life descriptions make characters tangible and multi-layered. (e.g., “He had been collecting baseball cards since childhood. Little things that held him together.”)

Conversational narrative tone + successive tension building - companionable voice, recognizable hints and chapter cliffhangers drive the suspense forward. (e.g., “Trust me — this won’t end well.” / Chapter ending: “Then he heard the ringing.”)
