I just discovered this new author. His name is Stephen King, and apparently he's written a whole bunch of books; imagine that.

So I read this one called "The Stand" and thought it was terrific, and now I'm reading this one called "It," and I'm also quite enjoying it.

So. If you've heard of this Stephen King guy and if you've read any of his works -- what do you recommend I tackle next?

(And to think I thought I'd read everything worth reading...)

No one here's mentioned Eyes of the Dragon yet, so I'm going to give a shout out for that. It's fantasy, not horror (though the Bad Guy is fucking scary), and it's brilliantly plotted around a false accusation of murder and an escape from prison. (I first read it at age twelve, but I enjoy it as much now, in my late twenties, as I did then.)

I also recommend Different Seasons and On Writing.3
