Overrrated? hmm, i don't think so. As a storyteller i think he does quite well in laying his work out. (The Dark Tower series & the stand is a good testament to this).
He may have a few stories below par by his own standards, but taking into account the volumes that he has, can u blame him?
When i first started reading King (think Pet Sematary) i didnt think i was reading a "horror" writer, just a good story. In so many different genres / themes, some so far from "horror" (Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Colorado Kid) that its strange that he's still on the mantle.
He's gone thru a killed-off psuedonym, collaborations, tv-series, big-screen, radio, screenplays, shorts, online downloads, sports columns and many many avenues to get his work out. Dont think any other writer would be as adventurous.
Just finished the Talisman again, now gonna dig into Black House.
