I'm like you Urgeok, I read Carrie and Salems Lot in grade school and then read each new book as it came out.
I love SK and I've read and still own everything that he has ever written just because I'm that faithful reader he talks about. He's a masterful storyteller but I have never been horrified while reading one of his books.
The closest I ever came was The Long Walk one of the Bauchman books. If you guys haven't read that, you should, it's very inventive.
All of the books he has written since he got hit by the van have pretty much sucked in my opinion. Cell would be the best of the post accident books but it starts out great and then sinks into a bunch of crap. It seems like he quit writing his books for readers and started writing them to be made into movies.
The only time I have been scared while reading a book and had to put it down and come back later was when I was reading The Exorcist. I hadn't seen the movie yet and there was a scene in that book that was the most terrifying thing I had ever imagined.
When I finally worked up the nerve to see the movie that scene wasn't even in it and I'll have to admit I was a little disappointed.
