King Recommendation

[marytrix]

Hi,
I`m Mariana, new to the forum, I`ve been reading King for awhile now, but I want to read more of his books, the problem is that after reading the famous ones I`ve read some not so famous that I really didn`t like, sutch as : The tommyknockers and Cell. So I figure i would ask for more recommendations here.
ps:just as a reference,the ones that I liked the most where Pet Sematary and The Shining.

'Salem's Lot is a good choice. Cell.

...try Insomnia...see if you like the flavor....

The Dark Half is a nice companion to Pet Sematary. Gerald's Game, too. Both are pretty scary and fast-paced. Welcome.

 

[not_nadine]

'Salems Lot

Story collections - any of them such as:

Full Dark, No Stars
Skeleton Crew
The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

Hey, thank you so much for the recommendations, I've read both of them and they are amazing, have you got any others ?

You're welcome. Several others have recommended 'Salem's Lot. I'd have to agree that it's a fun, scary book. Needful Things picks up a few months after the events of The Dark Half. It's set in Castle Rock. King and Chizmar have written a novella set in this locale and it will be published May 30th. So, I guess I'd suggest Needful Things.

There are two more books in that series, Finders Keepers and End of Watch. Maybe try those if you haven't already.

Everyone stole my top two suggestions, so perhaps try Desperation on for size. Also, The Regulators, under his other name is a great one to read as well. Welcome to the boards!
