Brutalform Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Not only a SK reader, but I also collect first edition, first printing SK novels, and a few that always come to mind is The Apt Pupil, The Stand, The Mist, IT, are some of my favorites. Not classified as “horror” but his detective novels are really good reads also. The Hodges Trilogy, which contains Mr Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch. Then check out The Outsider, which is kind of a continuation of the three previous novels. Check out H.P. Lovecraft if short stories interest you. Some of his stuff is a bit weird, and IMO a bit “wordy”, but there are many good scary short stories. Murder as a Fine Art by David Morrell is another story that comes to mind. Not a bad book at all, from the author of Rambo’s First Blood. Ghost Story by Peter Straub is another one I’ll never forget. The movie is ok, but nothing like the book.
