Pet Sematary was one of the scariest books I've ever read, and it has the added attraction of having local interest Hotwater
im about half way through the dark tower series, iv read almost every other stephen king book, partly in preparation for this, its fantastic but you need to have read most of his other books to make all the self references and connections. my fav SK book has been the stand though. its perfect.
I'm not really a huge Stephen King fan. I'm mainly a fan of The Shining, both the novel and the movie, but particularly the novel.
I really like Stephen King. I recently finished a book by him called Misery. You should read that...it's really good. It's about an author who gets into an accident and wakes up addicted to pain medication that's being given to him by his "biggest fan." She's basically crazy and holds him captive. Great story.
I loved the Dark Tower series, I read the whole thing. Yes, the story does change from about book 4 onwards, but I liked it. I love his treatment of "alternate universes"... I thought the deadly Harry Potter reference was hilarious.
I've read a LOT of his books, and personally he's one of my favorite authors. What I like about his books is the fact that he uses authors as main characters, which is something I can associate with. A lot of his books I read whenever I get stuck with writing my own. My favorites would be these (in no particular order ) (1) The Shining (2) Misery (3) Secret Window Secret Garden (novella in Four Past Midnight) (4) IT (5) On Writing IT was one of the longest books I've read so far, but it was worth it! A lot of the books deal with someone slipping slowly into insanity (or being completely insane from the start and just getting progressively worse), which makes his stories thrilling. IT gave me nightmares for weeks (not because of the clown but because of the line "I worry about you Bevvy, I worry a lot." People who read the book will know what I mean! L_S
dark fuckin tower,, its dark, and it towers over other books. lol that was lame compared to the books themselves. Gilead!
I Have all of kings books... yes you base much on movies.. 'newschool' The Shining. The Stand. Remember that he wrote 'Shawshank redemption' Langoliers IT
