@Dayanna I thought this was sneaky good. It is definitely one of his that stuck with me for quite a while. I think it will go back and reread it

I don’t think it gets nearly enough recognition. I love several of his books but this is my favorite and I rarely see it mentioned.

Almost all of his early works are gold, unfortunately I’d have to say his more recent stuff isn’t on the same level with some exceptions each way

Me neither. That’s why I’m asking for suggestions but instead I got a book list of all his books.

@Sumaya I’d start with his first, ‘Carrie’. And go from there. His early work was, in my opinion, his best.

The Long Walk, one of his as Richard Bachman. He said it’s too disturbing for him to ever allow it to become a movie.
