I personally like Stephen King. I grew up reading Carrie, Cujo, Misery, etc. They are iconic.
I started reading again a year ago but found them very long to physically read. I listen to them now and noticed a pattern. Many are slow burns, often have an older male involved (or maybe because I just read 11/22/63, Pet Sementary, and Fairytail around the same time), always have characters that reminisce, world building is great with all the details, solid characters.
I wouldn't read many all at the same time. Try a Stephen King rec, 1 or 2. If you dont like, move on. He doesn't just do horror. He can do other genres too. Very talented.
I still like his stuff. I just read Holly and liked it. Tried Fairytale. Wasnt my thing.
