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 tried to read multiple of his books, but could not continue. I don’t like his writing or his choice of topics.

    I didn’t like the movie IT, neither did I have much liking for The Shining.

    Only thing that came from Stephen King that I liked is the TV/Web miniseries 11/22/63. I really enjoyed it.
