IT 
by: Stephen King
Beware - this book will make you pay the price of the highly imaginative. This is a huge book, but it's well worth the time invested. The characters King creates are both incredibly real and heartbreakingly familiar. These people all have one thing that makes them different from other people, that gives other kids something to pick on them and scorn them for. However, i will be suprised if you don't recognize at least one of their traits in yourself. IT, a supernatural being, loves the taste of terrified kids. IT has the ability to change it's shape into whatever IT's prey is most afraid of, be it a werewolf...or a doberman pinscher. The main "good guys" in the story, known as the Losers Club, discovers the existence of IT and tries to kill IT. They are aided in their struggle by another being, who remains nameless and mysterious. This Other is never shown in the book. Who will win? Read it and find out!

Needful Things
by: Stephen King
The old horrormaster in top form, this time with a demonic dealer in magic and spells selling his wares to the folks of Castle Rock, scene of several King novels including The Dead Zone, Cujo-- and how many others?
King locates his hokey Our Town in Maine, but as ever it's really Consumerville, USA, with everyone's life festooned with brand names. The cast is huge and largely grotesque, since King--wearing a tremendous cat's-smile--means to close the book on Castle Rock and blow it off the map in one of his best climaxes since Salem's Lot.

Salem's Lot
by: Stephen King
Stephen King's second book, 'Salem's Lot (1975)--about the slow takeover of an insular hamlet called Jerusalem's Lot by a vampire patterned after Bram Stoker's Dracula--has two elements that he also uses to good effect in later novels: a small American town, usually in Maine, where people are disconnected from each other, quietly nursing their potential for evil; and a mixed bag of rational, goodhearted people, including a writer, who band together to fight that evil.
Simply taken as a contemporary vampire novel, 'Salem's Lot is great fun to read, and has been very influential in the horror genre.

Dreamcatcher
by: Stephen King
Stephen King fans, rejoice! The bodysnatching-aliens tale Dreamcatcher is his first book in years that slakes our hunger for horror the way he used to. A throwback to It, The Stand, and The Tommyknockers, Dreamcatcher is also an interesting new wrinkle in his fiction.

The Running Man
by: Stephen King
The Running Man is a short book, tightly written to be read and enjoyed quickly. The future world it depicts is vividly captured with a few essential details. The action is also fast paced and, though the novel differs from much of King's other work, the sardonic social commentary reveals a pleasing glimmer of King's characteristically twisted sense of humor.

Misery
by: Stephen King
In Misery (1987), a writer is trapped in an evil house during a Colorado winter. Each novel bristles with claustrophobia, stinging insects, and the threat of a lethal explosion. Each is about a writer faced with the dominating monster of his unpredictable muse.
Paul Sheldon, the hero of Misery, sees himself as a caged parrot who must return to Africa in order to be free. Thus, in the novel within a novel, the romance novel that his mad captor- nurse, Annie Wilkes, forces him to write, he goes to Africa--a mysterious continent that evokes for him the frightening, implacable solidity of a woman's (Annie's) body. The manuscript fragments he produces tell of a great Bee Goddess, an African queen reminiscent of H. Rider Haggard's She.

Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales
by: Stephen King
His first collection of short stories since the release of Nightmares & Dreamscapes in 1993, Everything's Eventual represents King at his most undiluted. The short story format showcases King's ability to spook readers using the most mundane settings (a yard sale) and comfortable memories (a boyhood fishing excursion). The dark tales collected here are some of King's finest, including an O. Henry Prize winner and "Riding the Bullet," published originally as an e-book and at one time expected by some to be the death knell of the physical publishing world. True to form, each of these stories draws the reader into King's slightly off-center world from the first page, developing characters and atmosphere more fully in the span of 50 pages than many authors can in a full novel.

Pet Sematary
by: Stephen King
This book is simply the best horror book by Stephen King I've ever read during my whole life. And I doubt if I'll live to read a better one. What touched me in this book was not the horror itself. What makes this book a must-read & re-re-read is the plot along with the characters. That's the most human book of Stephen King, the one where he could tell the world "I'm one of the best writers of this planet!". And yes, he really is. If you pay attention to the inner feelings, the ones that are not described in the book but the ones the author makes the reader wonder about, you'll face feelings, emotions and people that are inside us all, but that we rarely show to the world outside because the mankind lost the capacity to move, the capacity of be touched by things, of letting your heart cry... That's what Stephen King works in here: the true emotions, the feeling of losing and don't knowing how to go on without the ones that go... Things like that. If you want a book of wonderful story, if you want a book of true feelings, that's your book.
