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!

Thinner is one of my favourites by him!

The normal favourites are IT, The Stand, The Shining etc. But my absolute favourite of the ones I have read is Salem's Lot.
