I'm with you regarding his variety. At this stage, I'm happy just to get anything he sees fit to publish. BUT...if I had to be presumptuous:

I like stories steeped in American folklore in the late-1800s, early-1900s. Things like the Wendigo, witch-craft, etc. I love those types of settings because it removes me from the information-overload of contemporary times with all the clever pop-culture references, where superstition was still the norm and people were easy prey to the mysteries of the night. It's one of the reasons I loved The Witch.

...since we're spitballing ideas....why not a "history" of the Wendigo that culminates in its arrival at a little pet burying ground in Maine?....

I would like to read one or two more "evil tries to take over town" kind of stories. Like IT, Needful Things or Under The Dome. With lots of characters. Then i would like a natural disaster novel (hurricane or flood or something) so a group gets isolated and some start going bad while others try to maintain humanitarian values. No supernatural though. You might say The Stand or Cell but that i see as human things striking back at humanity (biological research, cellphones) with a twist. But whatever he puts out there i'll be happy about.
