I know I'm super late to the party, but I just read my first Stephen King novel (Thinner) and absolutely devoured it.
I loved it, so I'm reading Pet Semetary and while it started a bit slow, it's got its hooks in me now. I've already got 4 more books lined up for when I'm done.
I don't even know why I didn't start sooner because I love horror, I used to read Goosebumps books as a kid constantly and I love films like The Shining and The Green Mile.
I'm working my way through the more well-known ones (IT, Cujo, Green Mile, Different Seasons etc) but can anyone recommend some deeper cuts that I might also enjoy? I've seen on a few rankings that Thinner is usually relatively low and I loved it so I'm looking forward to exploring his back catalogue!
Thanks! I definitely will check out the Dark Tower series eventually. I'm quite curious about 11/22/63 too so I might do that one next.
I went into every book blind, if I had read about 11/22 prior I probably wouldn't have ever bothered giving it a go but as it is it is one that I have enjoyed a lot and come back to a few times. I hope you enjoy your journey, I'm jealous I can't go back through King again with no knowledge :D
