Stephen King - what next after Salem’s Lot?

[DoublePoppy]

Looking for next read recommendations please!

Already read and enjoyed:
The Stand
11:63…something else
The Institute
The Shining
Pet Sematary
It

Read and really did NOT enjoy:
Needful Things

Thank you!! Any suggestions much appreciated!

Dr sleep, a follow up to the Shining
Misery

11.22.63

different vibe. Not so much a horror, but great

Christine is one of my absolute favourites!

have you read 11.22.63? Also brilliant.

cujo is also great.

Carrie

So many…..
I love Tommyknockers but think it’s similar to Needful things in that it is in his “small town where weird shit goes down” sub genre. But then again so is Salems Lot and It.
Cujo is brilliant, your heart will be pounding the entire time and you will not be able
to put it down
Carrie is….. it’s so intense and different and horrifying. It’s brilliant but a lot.
Bag of Bones is a bit more straightforwardly scary
Dr Sleep is a follow up to The Shining

When you’re ready, start on his Dark Tower series. It ties all his works together.

Misery.

I'm jealous of you having all these great books still to read!

Firestarter is a great read

The long walk,
rose madder,
desperation
Christine

i likes his mr Mercedes and Holly Gibney books!

The Green Mile - one of my two faves by SK (11.22.63 being the other). I've read the Green Mile once but watched the film adaptation numerous times.

I recently read Holly, which was really good too.

I really enjoy reading his short story collections.
Also, The girl who loved Tom Gordon

The Dark Half

The Long Walk.

Why have 2 posters so far mentioned a book that was already in the OP?!
Have you read Carrie OP?

Absolutely second this. Book and film both mesmerising.

My favourites are Bag of Bones, Duma Key and Under the Dome. The Mr Mercedes trilogy is also great.

Firestarter is very good and hard to get the characters out of your head when you have finished it, even if you have read it before. It's difficult to know what to read of his next.

Oh yes, Duma Key is brilliant.

I’ve started Skeleton Crew and will then try Bag of Bones and Tommyknockers I think.

Thank you!

Christine. It’s an amazing novel. Stephen King at his finest.

I loved Carrie, cujo, Christine, the four seasons and misery

The Dark Half
The Stand
Mr Mercedes trilogy
Insomnia
Rose Madder
Cujo
Pet Cemetery
to name a few…..

Insomnia.

The Dead Zone. I love that book so much!!

The Institute is fantastic. Love all of them though, the Stand is the best. Second best the Talisman.

Nothing is as frightening as Salem’s Lot.

Christine was one of the first I read. Very good - he’s excellent at writing teenagers.

I also enjoyed Cujo though it’s really very sad.

Haven’t read much of his stuff from the last 20 years so can’t comment there.
