I know I’m super late to the party, but I just read my first Stephen King novel (Thinner) and absolutely devoured it.

I loved it, so I’m reading Pet Semetary and while it started a bit slow, it’s got its hooks in me now. I’ve already got 4 more books lined up for when I’m done.

I don’t even know why I didn’t start sooner because I love horror, I used to read Goosebumps books as a kid constantly and I love films like The Shining and The Green Mile.

I’m working my way through the more well-known ones (IT, Cujo, Green Mile, Different Seasons etc) but can anyone recommend some deeper cuts that I might also enjoy? I’ve seen on a few rankings that Thinner is usually relatively low and I loved it so I’m looking forward to exploring his back catalogue!

    I read most of his work and can’t say there’s any of them I was disappointed with. Some of them stick out above the rest, personal favourites are The Dark Tower and Insomnia, but they’re all very readable. It’s not great literature that will be studied in 200 years from now but he’s a great story teller and knows how to hook you in.
