This may sound dumb, but I’ve never read for this man. I’ve always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I’ve read so much non-fiction through throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Thank you so much to all who answered. I have read and appreciated every single comment. I have decided to start with fairy tale since I ran into the book at Walmart. So giving that a shot to see. Thank you so much

I’m already 15% into fairy tale. I really like his style so far. English is my second language and some books are a pain to read because the author feels the need to make it as hard as possible to understand. King uses very simple English and I appreciate that. I’ve only looked up 2 words so far.
Fairy Tale is a great modern book of his. I am partial to The Revival myself, but I like a slow burn. I would say The Stand, uncut, is a masterpiece and worth the extremely long read. I enjoyed The Talisman, which is in line with Fairy Tale in being a kind of fantasy-horror adventure.
So many people recommended the Talisman and The Stand. I’ll check them out.
