What's the best Stephen King book to read?

"the eyes of the dragon" is a different kind of stephen king. i really enjoyed it.

the shinning makes the movie seem like a hack job. read that

if you have finisged a song of ice and fire. the wild cards series is what im currently reading

The one with Mr gaunt and the caveat emptor

read his worst book first.

Cell (zombies)

9/22/63 (guy goes back in time to try to stop the murder of JFK)

The Shining, the sequel to the shining Dr. Sleep

The Stand

New books suck, he gets political




His son's books (Joe Hill) are great, before he got political like dad.

Horns

The Fireman

Nos4a2

Sequel to Nos4a2 - Wraith

Skip the new books.

I wouldn't read a thing by anti-Trump King. Fuck him.

He's a fucking commie! Fuck him and his little snowflake followers!

Rose Madder

Very good.

The OP can buy the books at the used book store, not a penny will go to King.

Hands down- Salem’s Lot. Read that one, and if you don’t like it, then King is not for you.

Salem’s Lot. Start there. Read it.

This!

Yep. That’s the one ☝️

Yep. That’s the one

The Long Walk is also good under the Bachman pseudonym.

I read many by King, but that one still haunts.

I forgot to mention "From a Buick 8"

Excellent story!

Not the one about the bear rug.

Just read Lovecraft instead.

Lisey's Story
You're welcome!

The stand
Misery
The green mile
Desperation

If you have not seen the movies.

Awesome movie also 6 hrs

The Dark Tower

Yeah that was a tough walk.

Most of them are stupid. Highly overrated.

"The Shining" is ok though.

Salems Lot, hands down number 1.
Then,
The Shining
Pet Cemetery
Carrie

Dr. Sleep.
Read it quick, movie comes out in November

The Stand.......hands down.

Like most authors, his best stuff is the early stuff. Try the Bachman books.
Danse Macabre is worth the read though I disagreed with much of it. His anthology Skeleton Crew had its moments. Cujo, Talisman, the Stand.

Avoid Tommyknockers at all costs unless you need firestarter.
