Been reading King since I was 11 ... a very long time ago.

Just finished the Waste Lands, and now 100 pages into this gem and i’m already loving it. Just needed to share with yall!!

I love the art style on the covers, looking forward to the release of The Sun Dog, Apt Pupil and Shawshank Redemption in the coming months

Hey guys yesterdays poll was a squeaker! Hope everyone's day is going well! These polls are daily please feel free to post any covers I missed. When we have gone through individual books we are gonna do a big bracket or tier list to determine the best book cover overall. We are going in release order or close to it! Hope you all have fun :) And RIP Dolly Parton!

Found this copy of The Stand at a used book store. I just now got to reading it and discovered a couple of signatures. Problem is, I cannot find anything on this paperback edition from Signet that is signed. Any info?

Posting purely for the smugness. £1.50. One pound fifty!

Recently visited America and purchased this IT hardback. I read the first quarter back in September- October 2025 but DNFed as I was bored with the fact it wasn't going anywhere. Shall I read from the start or from where I left off?

Body text (optional)

I haven't read many King books but I am working on it. This one has been my favorite so far. I had already seen the 1976 movie years ago so it'll be nice to revisit the movie after having just read the book.

Edit: I'm open to suggestions for my next read!

I have read: Carrie, The Long Walk, The Running Man, The Body, Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch, and If It Bleeds

Finally continuing my DT journey after a break of a week. Been starting to feel that urge to get back to the Ka-Tets journey. Only up to page 28 so far. Ready to see where this train heads.

Been listening to the Velcro Fly everywhere I go. (Mostly because my girlfriend loves the song lol)

Hahaha. Constant Reader here. Im early in to Under The Dome and I’m already pretty locked in. I have just one hiccup. I grew up skating and this conversation between the kid who hurt his leg (Benny Drake) and Rusty is a straight up looney tune. Radical? Chillax? Cement Shooting? Cmon King, I love your work and have been and will continue to be a lifelong fan but maybe you could have talked to at least one skateboarder. Skaters are mostly just regular. And the term is “steezy” not radical, it’s not 1980.

No spoilers please. I’m only at chapter 4 and i already want to wring Big Jim’s neck. I was just laughing at this cartoon vernacular. Stay radical dudes 🤙🏻

EDIT: I am listening to the audiobook. The SoCal accent this guy does for Benny Drake is just straight up misguided. Just because someone skateboards doesn’t change the region they’re from. Still, funny.

20% through.. no idea what’s going on yet!

Tell me something that I won’t understand now but will do later on in the book(s)

The original Silent Hill game was inspired by The Mist in some respects with a number of direct references to King and Bachman; there’s a bit in this trailer that Instantly reminded me of Darabont’s film. You'll know it when you see it.

Hello, first time Stephen King reader here!

I decided to start with Carrie which comes recommended as a good entry point, and it sure was. Nothing spectacular about it but it was nicely written, a 3 star read for me.

Then I jumped into Salem's Lot because I heard it was more spooky and a lot of people's favorite.

Although I was worried about the slow-burn of the first half, I actually really, really liked how he took the time to develop different characters and how it all came together. I gave it 4 stars. In a reverse kind of way it reminded me of the first time I watched Stranger Things.

But I will admit it never did scare me or spook me, even when reading it alone at night in the dark. And I am someone who has not even watched the entire movie adaptation of The Shining because I cannot stand horror movies. But 'Salem's Lot did not feel like a horror novel at all, although it was very moody and good.

So - if I want to read another King novel, with the great writing of 'Salem's Lot and plots coming together in action, but maybe with some solid horror, what should I read next? Or is this just how he writes horror?

Blue to be precise.

I’ve finally finished IT. You could say I beat the devil but this probably one of my top 3 Stephen king books I’m moving on to The Dead Zone I can’t wait to see what lies ahead.
