Hi Ladies,
Planning a trip to the library and fancied a horror/thriller. Heard of Stephen King, anyone got any recommendations?

IT is definitely the best. Encompasses all of his best themes.

The Stand (1990 edition - includes bits edited out of the original version) without a doubt.

I've just got Cell to read again which is really good. The Stand is good, insomnia, nightmares + dreamscapes and cujo are all good as well.

Yy to earlier novels, The Shining, IT and Carrie especially.

I always liked The Dead Zone, which is one of his earliest. I read it in one go, when it first came out.

The Shining

A lot of his characters intertwine in his books, so it might be an idea to start with the earlier ones.

I found Pet Semetary terrifying.

The Stand is a fantastic read if you have the time.

If you like scary, try "It"

OstrichSized · 19/09/2012 10:32

Try his earlier novels. My favourite are
Carrie
Misery
Cujo
Pet Semetary (got so scared that I skipped bits)

Enjoy!
