The Shining is his best followed closely by Pet Sematary and Cujo. The Stand is my other favorite but I don’t recommend it until you’ve read a couple if his other books. I prefer his older books.

The Stand, but it is long! Go with Carrie, his first or The Dark Half. The Dark Half is awesome and doesn’t get the credit it deserves! Also, it was made into a movie…

Salem’s Lot is a good choice as well, if you like longer books, Needful Things is an absolute trip!

I’ve been on a King binge lately and so far I liked Thinner (under the pen name Richard Bachmen), Pet Semetary and Misery. I’m starting the The Dark Tower next
