^ The first thing I read by him, and the first clue I had, that as good a novel writer as he (usually) is, Stephen King (in my opinion), is generally at his finest when writing short stories. Although I haven't read all of his other short story collections, I don't think anything else I've read, such as Skeleton Crew, really matches up to some of the stories here. As his career has progressed, he's seemed to go in more for mystical kind of horror, rather than the visceral stuff.

Aren't H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe the more eloquent writers under the horror genre?

I love Stephen King based movies a lot though!

Yup, but I also like Jack Ketchum, he was not an especially prolific writer, but he certainly had some significance among fans of the horror genre, and a couple of film adaptations. He was well respected amongst genre writers it seems. Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk are on record as admirers.

I have many of his books on PDF. But I have only finished reading two: "Carrie" and "Christine".

[Teutone]

Im on the Dark Tower Series, 2more books to read.

A masterpiece story and Stephen King himself called it his Magnum Opus

[dperucca]

The shining and green mile are two of my personal favorites.

At one point, I was a fan of King.
His radical and outspoken politics, have alienated millions of Trump supporters.
He should have stuck to books about zombie pets and sewer clowns, instead of delving into far left political punditry.

Anne Rice, Bram Stoker, Gaston Leroux and Charles Baudelaire too.

My friends in high school used to joke that I looked like Carrie from the Sissy Spacek movie. Stephen King is one of my favourite authors. I love going to the dark side whether it is fiction or true crime.

His books are way better!

The only good Stephen King movies I know are Misery, Shining, green mile and 1922.

But if you take in account how many movies are based on King, this isnt a good ratio.

The Man in the Black Suit

I am now a very old man and this is something which happened to me when I was very young—only nine years old. It was 1914, the summer after my brother Dan died in the west field and three years before America got into World War I. I’ve never told anyone about what happened at the fork in the stream that day, and I never will . . . at least not with my mouth. I’ve decided to write it down, though, in this book which I will leave on the table beside my bed. I can’t write long, because my hands shake so these days and I have next to no strength, but I don’t think it will take long. Later, someone may find what I have written. That seems likely to me, as it is pretty much human nature to look in a book marked DIARY after its owner has passed along. So yes—my words will probably be read. A better question is whether or not anyone will believe them. Almost certainly not, but that doesn’t matter. It’s not belief I’m interested in but freedom. Writing can give that, I’ve found. For twenty years I wrote a column called “Long Ago and Far Away” for the Castle Rock Call, and I know that sometimes it works that way what you write down sometimes leaves you forever, like old photographs left in the bright sun, fading to nothing but white. I pray for that sort of release. A man in his nineties should be well past the terrors of childhood, but as my infirmities slowly creep up on me, like waves licking closer and closer to some indifferently built castle of sand, that terrible face grows clearer and clearer in my mind’s eye. It glows like a dark star in the constellations of my childhood. What I might have done yesterday, who I might have seen here in my room at the nursing home, what I might have said to them or they to me . . . those things are gone, but the face of the man in the black suit grows ever clearer, ever closer, and I remember every word he said. I don’t want to think of him but I can’t help it, and sometimes at night my old heart beats so hard and so fast I think it will tear itself right clear of my chest. So I uncap my fountain pen and force my trembling old hand to write this pointless anecdote in the diary one of my greatgrandchildren - I can’t remember her name for sure, at least not right now, but I know it starts with an S—gave to me last Christmas, and which I have never written in until now. Now I will write in it. I will write the story of how I met the man in the black suit on the bank of Castle Stream one afternoon in the summer of 1914.
