Salem’s Lot
Carrie
11.22.63 it’s not a horror but it is a must read.
I’m 43% through this one just now xx
@Julie enjoy. I was sad when I finished it I miss Jake Epping /George Ambersom.
Start with the stand. It is his best and my fave x
Jenny Townsend, it was good book, did you know there was a mini seris made for tv that was shown a while ago, but i think it’s true what they say, the book is always better than the film
11/22/63
Misery
Pet Sematary!
All of them pretty much my favourites are misery, the green mile and pet semetary
there is a remake of the movie https://amzn.to/2J7uL24
Insomnia, Needful Things
I’ve just finished reading Pet Sematary, that’s definately worth a read. Just started The Shining, so I’ll see how I get on with that 🙂
Start with his shorts. Look for Four Past Midnight. One Past Midnight is a favorite of mine and it’s The Langoliers. Tommyknockers is another fun one.
Pet Semetary
Misery
@Yesenia awesome book
Tommyknockers
Skeleton Crew
The Stand is brilliant 🙂
I second the stand
The Stand. Dark Tower Series. Duma Key. Green Mile. Hmmm all of them! ?
He’s one of my favorite authors!
Enjoy! ?
The green mile
Carrie is great, but you might also like some of his short stories – The Bazaar of Bad Dreams is a good one x
The Shining is his most terrifying. Hearts in Atlantis is his best written story.
@Algin love the Shinning

It
Thinner, Dark Half
The shining and Carrie are great!
Insomnia
Bag of Bones, The Shining, Doctor Sleep, Pet Cemetery, Green Mile
Misery

The Stand!

Green mile xxx
On Writing, The Long Walk, Misery, The Stand
Yes! The Long Walk never gets enough love. It’s so good!
It and Thinner

If you liked the movie shining you should read dr Sleep. It’s the sequel.
Yes we did the audible of this. It’s awesome
I use audible. That is the only way I can experience books.

11/22/63, The Dark Tower Series
The Stand is my favorite of all, but I would start with Salem’s Lot, Carrie, The Shining, It
The Talisman and Salem’s Lot.
Misery, bag of bones, 11/22/63, desperation.
Start with Misery, it’s wonderful in a very SK way!!
Shining, pet sematary, and christine. From a Buick 8 is an unsung hero lol

The Stand and The Shining
11/22/63!
Talisman, The Shining, Delores Claiborne, Bag Of Bones and Dragon Eyes
Needful Things
The Long Walk!
I enjoyed this one
Christine! Way better than the movie (I like the movie) but the book was so good!
Misery
I started with The Girl who loved Tom Gordon when first started reading SK and I was hooked.
Pet cemetery or Carrie.
All his books are better than the movies.
I think his best novel is 11/22/63.
I’ve only read a few of his books and the best I’d say was insomnia
Really? Have to try it again. First time i tried it cured my insomnia.
Misery, Carrie, cujo and pet cemetery were my favorites
I read them all, Christine I’d recommend! I’m a huge fan
11/22/63
@Denise then watch the movie
The Talisman, The Stand
It, The Stand and Under the Dome
Pet S
Pet Semetary that is?
The Stand
Rose red
Misery is a good book
All of them.
The Stand and 11/22/63
Doctor Sleep.
Insomnia, the green mile.
Carrie is a good one to start with!
Tommy Knockers
I liked Desperation. Mostly because I lived in both Utah and Nevada and had to ride through the strip of road it technically talks about. Very interesting read!
3 best of all time are The Stand
It
The Shining
Rose madder
The stand and under the dome and insomnia oh and cell lol xx
Cujo
Misery!!!!
It has to be Christine…
We just watched this last night!
The Shining, Pet Semetary, The Stand, Rose Madder, all of them❤️ all of them are better than the movies.
Dreamcatcher!!! It was phenomenal!!
The Stand and I own an autographed copy of Carrie. I’ve met him several times.
Lucky you!! ??
I’m in Maine and I’m a former teacher, who now runs two free book libraries inside an elementary school. I helped write a grant to his foundation for money for books and we got $5,000. He and Tabitha do a great deal for this state. I stood in line over 2 hours for that autograph. ?
This is it. ?
@Bertha That is amazing!! You sound like a wonderful lady
Dreamcatcher
Salem’s Lot
His books are better than the movies!! Just about all his books are great
Sooo much better!
I find his books long and plodding. Never finished one
Me too!
My Stephen King collection
Misery
@Kristie way better than the movie.
@Kathleen absolutely!!!!
I love them all, but they are very different from one another-do you know what you’re looking for? I think as a first, starting with one of the collections of short stories would be cool. The collection with The Long Walk would be my first choice but I don’t remember which book that was
11/22/63!
I’ve heard that this is a good book. I’m curious to read it now.
@Jennifer I really enjoyed it. In fact, I think I’ll read it again. Lol
The Outsider
Misery.
11/22/63
Carrie
Doctor Sleep
Needful things
under the dome
Pet Sematary
I actually like the books more than the movies… stand by me/ the body was good, and the new IT is a lot closer. Right now I’m reading the dark tower and I love it. Never seen the show tho
The Tommyknockers is a tantalizing tease….
The green mile.
Pet Sementary
Have you made a choice yet?
