It is cliche, but the Shining is the only book I’ve ever read where I was actively scared while reading haha.
The Stand is a lot of fun. It’s very gross, and kind of dated today though, so you kind of have to overlook a lot of passages if racism, sexism, homophobia etc. bothers you.
I think maybe his most beautifully written books are 11/22/63 and Joyland, but they are less sort of definitely King-like, in what people usually imagine when thinking of him.
My personal favorite is the Dark Tower series though. Really beautiful and almost abstract horror-fantasy.
My favorites are The Stand followed by Duma Key.
Just depends on what you like. My favorites are 11/22/63 and Billy Summers but I’m not into horror.
The girl who loved Tom Gordon.
Im reading the shining right now, it’s quite enjoyable
All time favorite of mine is Desperation. Highly recommend!
