 Here's a very interesting "top ten" works of the master of horror fiction. www.toptenz.net/top-ten-works-stephen-king.phpIt's worth pointing out that The Stand links up with The Dark Tower series as well. No Salem's Lot? Sheee-it. I'm pretty pleased that they didn't go with the obvious classics. IN fact, I haven't read a lot of those. I had never heard about Rage. Now I'm kind of pissed that it's not available for me to read. Maybe there's a torrent.... |

Hmmm. I've started kinda collecting King books, and I obviously haven't even skimmed the surface because I've read, like, three of those. Mrs C is re-reading The Stand as we speak. I'm currently a quarter of the way through The Duma Key (which is looking pretty good so far).
Misery had me laughing out loud a couple of times. It's grim as hell, but there is some humour in there, and Annie is a fantastic character. I haven't read any King short stories yet either, looks like I'll have to start.
But no Shining or IT? Didn't expect that.

King's short story collections are really great. I really loved Secret Window/Secret Garden and The Langoliers from "Four Past Midnight". I'm pretty sure that recent flick Insidious stole a concept from The Sun Dog too (in it, every time a camera takes a picture, regardless of what you shot what develops is a image of a beast coming at you with each picture taken bringing it closer...). Creepy stuff.
