His recent short story collection Everything's Eventual is a good one - rather than rely on solid mythical creatures (like Rice and her vampires) or whacky surrealism and monsters (like Barker) King's stories can still take the reader into unpredictable territory without resorting to "clever" techniques (witness the new added control on the vehicle in The Tommyknockers: "Left, Right and... up?".
From Everything's Eventual, read The Death Room - simple, daring, and immensely satisfying.
