What is Your Favorite STEPHEN KING Book?

To those who actually read them instead of just watching the book adaptations.

For me- Salem's Lot and Eye of the Dragon.

Probably Pet Sematary. The movies (especially the modern one) don't do the book justice

Sure i've posted this in another thread but Danse Macabre. It's more biographical where talks about how he was influenced by other horror genre books.

I will say, it was a little odd at the end of "Later" when you found out his uncle was his father (his mother banged her brother), and then went on to explain how the birth defects from incest are overrated and blown out of proportion. Seemed pretty weird because it had literally nothing to do with the rest of the book whatsoever.

I think I’ll read The Dark Half again, now that I think of it

His unhinged anti trump vitriol is enough for me to write off his pædo ass comp-letely.



Whatever, fuk him.

Have been a Stephen King fan since the 90's.

IT
Pet Sematary
The Stand
Eyes of the Dragon
Different Seasons - especially Shawshank and Apt Pupil. The Body was third.

Also, if you ever want to read a good book about writing, his memoir On Writing is fantastic. First half is about his life and degeneracy, and second half is how he writes.

I find them to be long and boring. Too much character set up.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

Haven’t read one of his book in years. But I did enjoy The Langoliers and The Tommyknockers from a lifetime ago. Might read The Stand now op, thanks for the reminder.

I do recall loving his writing style.

repped for the langoliers. Had me on the edge of my seat. The tv series was pretty good as well. Excellent character development

Easily Hearts in Atlantis. Its not a horror story at all and has a little to do with the Dark Tower series. I dont even like Stephen King but this is a beautiful book. The Movie sucked and had almost nothing to do with the book. No fuking idea why it was even made since almost nobody read the book

The Stand is my favorite, the characters are amazing but my favorite one was left out of every screen adaptation.

Glad to see Tommyknockers mentioned, popular opinion is that one sucks but I loved it.

If you're into fantasy check out The Talisman, has a Dark Tower kind of feel mixed with current addiction issues.

The Jaunt was a good short story.

11.22.63 was also really good.

The Body (Stand By Me) and The Shawshank Redemption were also great short stories made into movies. Full length novels rarely translate well to film.

The Dark Tower. The beginning and end of the entire Stephen King universe.


I remember getting the last book early in the morning from a bookstore. I read it all day and kept going on into the night, read it all the next day too and into the night, finished early morning after spending the entire night on the couch.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.
