I’m in a major SK phase at the moment. Apart from the big stuff I feel I have slept on him so to speak.
Anyway his book on writing (called, er, On Writing) is widely considered to be a classic in the genre. And it is.

I’m into his B movies at the moment - particularly Carts Eye and The Dark Half.

Currently reading Salems Lot

I feel like a whole world has opened up for me and I’m
Ready to obsess !

Needful Things is my go to.

It's overshadowed by most of his other big works in the era, but I love that it's basically Coronation Street goes horror.
 
Pet Sematary - crap film, great book.

Went through a phase as a teenager reading all of his work. There have been so so many more since then but I never really picked them up again. Was always quite partial to some of the crappier film versions such as Sleepwalkers.
 
Love him. Recently read the Cujo sequel “Rattlesnakes” in his latest short story collection and bawled my eyes out :D

Same to all of this! My teenage book shelf was half him. Thought I was so much cooler than my peers with their Point Horror 💅

LOVE Sleepwalkers :D I don't think that ever was a book was it? Straight to low-budget camp film non-classic :disco:

The Dark Half was probably my favourite book.
 
Used to read a lot of Stephen King as a child (probably shouldn't have because I'd always have nightmares) and as a teenager. I loved Misery, Rose Madder, Carrie, Salem's Lot, Bag of Bones and Gerald's Game.
The last book I read was Dumas Key, which was meh.
 
It was all because I had a TV in my room from a young age, and caught the opening scenes of Carrie on late at night when I was about 10. Seeing John Travolta’s name in the opening credits, I hit record thinking it was a high school teen drama about bullying. Bought the book a week later.
