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!

Oh hi! My husband just joined your community actually haha, and I plan on heading over there shortly!! I've quit Reddit because of all the fuckery going on over there and I've been absolutely DYING to tell somebody who has read the Dark Tower series: that this was totally an accident because I work night shift but I finished Song of Susannah TODAY JUNE 19TH!!!! I was like no fucking way lol!! So eerie. And my husband also started The Gunslinger today!! Ka! I can't wait to see how this series concludes, it's been such a great ride.
