The Stand is one of the most epic reads of his but difficult to choose a bad one..personally, I love Rose Madder, Under the Dome 🙂

His short stories–they intro you to his world in short bites. One of them is Shawshank Redemption. Then try his shorter novels. By far, The Stand is a classic. But my favorite, was Thinner and Cujo.

Thinner is short for new readers. Insomnia is too, and very weird.

I believe his best book was The Stand. But it it is very long. You might want to start with something like Carrie, Salem’s Lot or Christine.

Select something he wrote before his accident. Not only did he change, but so did his writing.
