Hey guys! I'm new on this forum but have been an avid Stephen King fan since I read Carrie in the 4th grade. Years ago (and I mean about 20 years ago :)), I joined a monthly Stephen King book club where I was automatically sent a different title in order to complete my collection. Does anyone know if something like that still exists today?

I would be surprised if there wasn't something like that out there somewhere, but I think you would be better served just ordering them yourself (in the order you want) online. It will be more cost effective. I suggest Half Price Books (they have an online presence) and you can get every book he has ever written (paperback or hardback) at a good price used. Naturally, you can get them new too at great bargains on Amazon and through other sources. Book Clubs used to provide an economic incentive to using them, but these days a bit of price shopping yourself gets you better deals and all the same benefits of having it shipped right to you.

Thanks so much! To be honest with you, I own quite a lot of them already, but throughout the years I've lost so many. I've been reading then since elementary school and I always keep my books, but you know how it gets with people who borrow without returning and moving. I remember buying "It" when it was first released and of course now I can't find it anywhere.

Awesome! Can you possibly assist me on how to go about finding how to sign up? Everything I hit sends me to a page only to pay your bill and I've tried several avenues. It's quite possible I'm missing something. LOL With my computer illiterate self....

Just out of curiosity, have you started reading it yet? I'm about 1/3 of the way through it and it's pretty good so far.
