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 thought Thinner was a really fun novel. It gave me serious Twilight Zone vibes. Pet Semetary on the other hand chilled me to my core but I loved it. Salem's Lot is one I will get round to because I've heard one of the Dark Tower book ruin it and I plan on reading through those at some point.
