I actually have quite a bit of catching up to do when it comes to King's latest works, but on both here and Facebook I've heard a lot of people talking about other authors sort of like King with great books. I'm really only into anything that has to do with horror/supernatural/paranormal, not so much interested in crime/detective type books ( except for any that King writes, will read Joyland very soon! ) unless they are somewhat original and well worth the time.
I have quite a few Dean Koontz novels as I used to collect them along with King, but honestly haven't read many. I was just always so obsessed with Stephen's works that it was hard to dive into anything else and really invest much time in it. The few that I did read were good and there were a couple I started and just couldn't get into. If anyone could name off some of his big smash hits that would be wonderful, I'm guessing " Watchers " is one of them?
Also have a few Peter Straub books that I picked up along the way but never read much of. I have a few John Saul works as well, unread.
I'm definitely interested in Joe Hill's books and will be getting into those very soon I hope. It just feels like there's so much out there for someone who quit reading for so long, it's hard to figure out what's really worth investing time in, especially when you have some catching up to do with King and don't want to get overwhelmed with other stuff. Would appreciate any and all suggestions though, thank you all!
