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'm most familiar with the stories that were adapted to film. Shawshank, pet semetary, IT, green mile etc. Green mile is soo good.
The only book I actually read was The Dark Half, because of my situation, I did not have much choice as far as what I could read, and there being nothing to do but read, I thought it was good and I couldn't put it down. Not sure I would have chosen to read if it wasn't for circumstances, but was ultimately a worthwhile read.
