So I am wanting to get into Stephen King and I was wondering if any of you all have read any of his stuff??? I want one that will scare me out of my socks, so if you all have any suggestions that would be awesome...

Much Love,
Ethan

IS there a "best" Steven King Novel? I think the man is too predictable. So, I hate reading him.

I actually love SK- It or The Stand are probably good starting points.

The only Steven King book I've read is Pet Cemetary...erm..and I think there was a recent thread about Steven King if I'm not mistaken...lemme look for that...

The novel "It" scared the crap out of me. An evil sewer dwelling clown that taps into your deepest fears. What could be worse than that?
My advice would be to go to the library and take out one of his collections and read a few of the shorter stories before you take on a whole book. You may not like him at all.

Those two are my favorites, very epic and 1000 plus pages! The Shining is a good one as well.

The Stand
