Stephen king

The Dark Tower series with the exception of "Wizard and Glass". He seemed like he was losing his way in that book.

I've read all his books and enjoyed all of them to some extent, some more than others. If I had to pick one favorite it would be Pet Sematary. It's a terrifying story told well. It has a mythic quality for me.

I've read most of his books, and I think almost all are good reads - just enough beyond reality but not so far that they don't make you think just a little if the story he is telling is possible. And when you distill most of his books down, the basic premise is the battle between Good and Evil....

1) The Stand
2) It
3) The Talisman (outstanding fantasy written with Peter Straub)
4) Salems Lot
5) Cujo

He wrote a terrific book on how to write - can't recall it's name. Not a big fan otherwise. The books are very long. I admire him mainly for being so prolific. I did read The Stand which was pretty compelling.

I was really into Stephen King in high school and college, and was reading everything he wrote, but after a while I just stopped. Too many books. I've read pretty much all of his early stuff, with Misery maybe being the last one I read. I like The Stand a lot, and also The Dead Zone and The Shining. I also really enjoyed his short stories as much, if not more so, than the novels. Night Shift, Skeleton Crew, The Bachman Books were all great, and I think Different Seasons might be my favorite. My favorite King movies would probably be The Shawshank Redemption, The Dead Zone (one of Walken's best roles), and Stand By Me.

Salem's Lot!!! Most realistic vampire I've ever seen.

Salem's Lot!!! Most realistic vampire I've ever seen.

Barlow(Reggie Nalder) was one creepy looking fellow.

I thought "Let The right One in" (The original Swedish film) was one of the best vampire films i ever saw

[Human-After-All]

Sleepwalkers is one of my favorites.

That has to be a joke!

Needful Things as it's the first book i read of the King of horror... and also being a compulsive collector of almost anything i feel it really near to me...
but for the story... the best are It, The Dark Tower cycle and the Stand...
the most scarying is otherwise Salem's Lot...
