Stephan King

does anyone have any recommendations on Stephen King novels?


I have read Cujo, Pet Sematary, Fairy Tales, and Stephan King Goes To The Movies.


My school library has had trouble finding any other books by him, even from the state library, so I would have to find books of his in my own time. However, I am interested in reading more of his work.


As a side note, if anyone has any good gothic horror, or any horror books in general to recommend, I would love to hear about them. Thank you. ☆

From Stephen King, I've read The Shining a few times over, and I think it's better than the movie if you've ever watched that. The sequel book Doctor Sleep was also good but less horror-ish from what I remember. I haven't read it in a few years. His other book 'Salems Lot was okay, but I found it kind of slow and it was hard to finish

For other recommendations, I finished reading The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix. I would say it's more of a thriller novel if that's the right term? It wasn't super scary but there were a lot of moments where suspense was built up (the kind that makes you want to fast-forward through the scene but you keep reading anyway lol) 

The book Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane is also a good psychological thriller I think.

If you're looking in your school library the chances of them having the Hendrix book or Lehane book may be slimmer because I think they're written for young adult/mature audiences, but you might have a better chance finding it in a public library :) I hope that you find some of my recommendations interesting!
