The only King book I've read IIRC is "Christine" but I liked that one...

Stephen King is shite...read Clive Barker instead...Imajica, The Great and Secret Show, Weaveworld and Everville are all good books :D

If you're really interested in scaring the shit out of yourself, I'd give Shirly Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House a read. I've read alot of Steven King stuff, and Jackson's novel scared me worse than any of King's stuff did.

I'm popping in here as just another advocate for the Dark Tower series. :)

One needs only look at my sig to realise that I, too, would highly recommend the Dark Tower series.
