I agree with Bloodrayne about it being difficult to decide lol, but for me The Stand pips them, and for nostalgia's sake I'll go with 'Salems Lot as it was my first King novel.
I prefer least of all Gerald's Game and The Talisman. |
It.
My favourite book ever. |
It's easier to say the worst which was: The Regulators.

It's easier to say the worst which was: The Regulators.
But I think The Stand & Desperation are two of the best. |

I'd have to say the Shining and needful things.
They were good as books and even better as movies!! HIGH PRIEST WISE |
i have a question about "apt pupil". maybe one of you guys can help me :
the story ends like this "It was five hours later and almost dark before they took him down." i always found this a bit ambiguous. is the "boy" ( more like monster ! ) shot down or simply maimed ? |
my favorate king books are
The Shining Rose Red Cujo IT not in that order. |
i have a question about a king movie rather than a book.
in storm of the century what is the guy who wants one of the towns children maybe i did'nt pay close enough attention or just did'nt understand it well enough but can somebody tell me what he is? |

Bloodrayne what do you think? |
I've read just about all of his books excluding his collections of short stories and the only one that I'd recommend is The Dead Zone. The Gunslinger books were good also.

It's pretty much of a given that they shot and killed him,but King leaves it to the imagination. |

It's not that I didn't like any of the books, but I just don't that they're good enough to actually recommend to someone when you have so many better novels to recommend. And I'm probably not the only one here who can say this, but for years it seemed like if you wanted a good horror novel, then look no further than King, but now when I'm browsing through the bbokstore, I practically skip over the whole King/Koontz section. They just don't deliver like Gorman, Keene, Laymon, Ketchum, etc.

Hey, Stephen King what got me into writeing.
I love all his stuff! HIGH PRIEST WISE |
I've only read The Stand by him, which is my favorite. I tried to read the 2nd book in the Dark Tower series, but I didn't like it really...and I've read a bit of Dreamcatcher as well, haven't finished though, so I really cannot say. I WANT to read It though...it's one of my favorite movies, and I heard the book is way better.
|
It was great, was my favorite untill I read the Stand. The Stand's post-apocalyptic world is a delight.
I also am a big fan of The Dark Tower and I agree that it just keeps getting better. My only fear though is that he might never really finish that serie... Wich would be rather sad. |
my favorites are mainly his collections..Night Shift,..Skeleton Crew,Nightmares and Dreamscapes,and Everythings Eventual in particular.altho i enjoyed reading the Bachman Books.and Four Past Midnight..as for full length novels..I probably enjoyed The Stand,Pet Semetary,and Needful Things,the most..

I'd say dead, or it wouldn't have been the last sentence. |
The Stand.
|
EYES OF THE DRAGON
who can forget good ol' Flagg? |
Desperation and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Desperation was the first I'd ever read, and would read gladly again and again. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon just reminds me of childhood, and I think it's an adorable book.
I don't think I'll ever read The Dark Tower series. I have a mother's that's been with them since the beginning, and her dedication scares me. Really, really badly. |
Too bad I only read one of the Stephen King books and I really liked it. "IT" was the book I read. The clown scared the fuck outta me when I was like 8. The movie had a more lasting inpact on my sanity.
|
I love all that I have read, except It, but my favorite book of his is Pet Sematary. Its not a book, but the short story "the Langoliers" is my second favorite piece of writing of all time. (first being Romeo and Juliet, but thats not quite horror, now is it?)

"IT" is my all time favorite Stephen King book:cool:

I've read almost all of King's novels and most of his short stories. I love his writng style. He may be too long-winded for some readers who prefer a quick read with not so much detail to characters and places.
A Unaboner3000 Top 5 would include: The Dark Tower series (best books EVER) The Stand (very long, and very detailed in character developement, which I love.) Rose Madder (exciting story, and a strong FEMALE main character) Dreamcatcher (Alot better than that crappy movie) Desperation (most "action-packed" of King's stories, I think) |
books......
Bloodrayne, it was amazing how you could put thopse in order!
I know my first ffew favorites but then it gets hard. From my memory, so I may forget a few: Shining Talisman Salem's Lot The Deadzone Night shift Carrie The Dark Half Needful things Different Seasons Tommyknockers I guess a top ten, but I am leaving out a lot of good books that people have mentioned. The Talisman was a hard book for me to get into, but at the end I was sorry it was over. Love that book!!!!!!!!!1 |
There's a new addition to The Gunslinger?
My fave King books so far are: The Stand (my favorite story of all time) The Talisman (great mix of horror and fantasy) Black House (only have a few more pages to go and it's wonderful) Eyes of the Dragon (great fantasy) Salems Lot (best vampire book I've read) Misery (very realistic horror) Rage (luckily I got a copy of this. It's out of print now) |
Yeah, those are some kickass books!!
HAIL SATAN!!! HIGH PRIEST WISE |
All of them, the mans a genius, I know there would be 1,000's of "serious" authirs out there who would say otherwise. but i jus tthink that is just professonal jealousy
