 | The Shining by Stephen King
Buy new: £7.99 / Used from: £0.01 Quite simply the best novel ever written by man, woman, or child (in my opinion). Simply staggering - READ THIS BOOK, WHOEVER YOU ARE!
|
 | Pet Sematary by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 The only book to truly give me the creeps. Scary, sad, extremely atmospheric and very compulsive
|
 | Salem's Lot by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 For a second book, an enormous acheivement, what a story! Characterisation, suspense all building beautifully. What more can I say?
|
 | Christine by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 One of my personal favorites, a very good novel - about a car!?! Rivetting stuff from begining to end
|
 | The Dead Zone by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 A great story, told with a marksman's precision. No waffle at this early stage (which he went on to suffer with later..Tommyknockers, anyone?)
|
 | It by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 As with 99.9% of the films, forget them and read the book instead. Very long, but you don't notice it once you're hooked. Superb storytelling
|
 | The Stand (The Complete and Uncut Edition) by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.41 As above, a towering acheivement. Grand in scale, but beleiveable characters, which is what really counts and what King does so well
|
 | Cujo by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 Very dark, short book and no messin'.
|
 | Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King
Buy new: £7.99 / Used from: £0.01 His best novel of recent years (along with 'Black House'), poignant, but it's the way he tells 'em!
|
 | Skeleton Crew by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 My favourite of the short story collections, all superb and very creepy, 'The Mist' in particular is great stuff
|
 | Different Seasons by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 Four superb novellas, each brilliant in their own right, a format repeated in 'Four Past Midnight' later, to less effect
|
 | Thinner by Richard Bachman
Buy new: £7.19 / Used from: £0.01 Quite simply a great story, truly original and really quite scary in it's way
|
 | The Bachman Books by Richard Bachman
Buy new: £8.99 / Used from: £0.01 Slightly different in feel from his normal output, harder, leaner, which is no bad thing
|
 | Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King
Buy new: £7.99 / Used from: £0.01 Ties in with 'Gerald's Game', which I found slightly unsatisfying, but this is the stuff!
|
 | Fire Starter by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 Another simply superb, well told story, with a sad feel to it. Compelling
|
 | Bag of Bones by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 A return to form, very atmospheric
|
 | The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (New English library) by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 A very good, short book, featuring just the one character. Handy when you need a quick dose of King!
|
 | Carrie by Stephen King
Buy new: £7.19 / Used from: £0.01 This one's just got to be in there, I suppose!
|
 | Misery by Stephen King
Buy new: £7.19 / Used from: £0.01 Extremely well written, suspenseful and downright frightening. You really feel for Paul Sheldon
|
 | Night Shift by Stephen King
Buy new: £7.99 / Used from: £0.01 A superb collection of stories to give you the creeps - do not overlook these collections, or his non-fiction writting ('Danse Macabre', 'On Writting')
|
 | The Talisman by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 A wonderful book, spellbinding
|
 | The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King
Buy used from: £0.01 If you like all the above, you will enjoy this. Showing there's more to his writting than 'horror', a great tale
|
 | Black House by Stephen King
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 As with 'The Talisman', you've gotta read this, though it lacks a little of that book's magic
|
 | The Dark Tower: Wizard and Glass v. 4 by Stephen King
Buy new: £6.67 / Used from: £2.23 All these books are superb, with this being my particular favorite. Looking forward to the rest
|
 | Needful Things by Stephen King
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £0.01 Thought I'd just sneak this one in at the end; bit long, strange ending, but very enjoyable
|
Listmania!
