Recommend me a Stephen King book please!

[Taq]

I’ve just listened to The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and 11.22.63. Loved them all!

What next please?

Thanks!

[ISaySteadyOn]

I loved the Dark Tower series. The first book is The Gunslinger.

Mr Mercedes

The Stand
Mr Mercedes
Misery

[Nara2k]

Mr Mercedes is the first in a short series of detective novels, more like the ones you've mentioned than the horror novels

[EamonsPalliativeCareTracksuit]

Insomnia. I live for the day they make a film of this.

Misery

[4pink1blue]

A short one Joyland. Or a long one The Stand, my absolute favourite.

[tothesea]

The Shining…a masterclass in a creeping sense of dread.

From a Buick 8 and Rose Madder

Both I've read only recently as was convinced I wouldn't like them. Was completely blown away by both. SK's talent as a writer is just unfathomable.

[CountFoscosMice]

Huge huge SK fan here too. Love any thread about his books and people discussing them!
I love his short stories the best of all - have you tried any of those? Maybe start with a classic anthology like Skeleton Crew.
He is indeed an absolute master of the craft.

[CountFoscosMice]

Or - if you're using Audible - get IT which is hours and hours and hours long!

Came on to recommend this one!

[LabRat90]

I always enjoyed the one he wrote under his 'Richard Bachman' pen name, especially Running Man and Rage.

[ticketstickets]

the Stand. Under the Dome. Dolores Claiborne. Revival. The institute. Carrie.

Could never get into the dark tower series.

Enjoyed most of the short story collections too.

I don't agree with this list but you might find it helpful. https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/g41054461/best-stephen-king-books-ranked/

[SliceOfCakeCupOfTea]

He published some under the name Bachman (the longest walk, running man etc) which are brilliant. Running man is nothing like the film btw.
Longest walk has stayed with me for a very long time. Scary that it once seemed so out there.

[ticketstickets]

I think I have read, or attempted to read, every single one of his books. I think I like his later books better although a few of the earlier ones are excellent.

I must have read (and watched) the Stand a dozen times.

[Needhelp101]

Any of his short story collections!

[ticketstickets]

also Rose Madder is good.

Insomnia. I live for the day they make a film of this.

I think they did. It started Robin Williams if I remember rightly.

[ISaySteadyOn]

Starred even

[sixswans]

The Dead Zone. The OUtsider.

[DraconianDen]

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is the one I always recommend - a bit different from his normal full on horror style but still amazing!

[EffortlessDesmond]

The Stand, and The Shining, as suggested above.

No, I was wrong. Different Insomnia, sorry.
