random_cactus_4: Risking a ban here but The Gunslinger is overrated. Puts so many people off the whole series.

MegaFalcon9892: The Stand is my favorite until I remember the ending. Literal hand of God.

humble_waffle: Pet Sematary is the only one that genuinely scared me as an adult. Sometimes dead is better.

throwaway27430: Dreamcatcher is the only King book I couldn't finish

tony.t8016: Cujo in D, he wrote it blackout drunk and admits he barely remembers writing it

frozen_penguin: Different Seasons gave us Shawshank and Stand By Me. S, no discussion.
