Stephan King

[bertine]

I would make this a lj poll except I am sure it would leave out a book. What I want to know is what is your favorite Stephan King story and why. It can be anything he has done.

PS I change my mind, The Shawshank Redemption doesn't count. Everyone loves that one.

The Shining.

I loved how the story was both about a haunted house and telepathy. And elevators still kinda creep me out.

Eyes of the Dragon. I just really liked his fairy tale style.

Definitely the Bachman Books (before he wrote pulp fiction). Specifically "The Long Walk".

Pet Sematary was my favorite book. Who hasn't lost a loved one and sworn they would do anything to have them back? If you've only seen the movie you're missing out on alot.

IT was probably a close second. Both sucked as movies.

Christine, The Green Mile and Misery were probably the best movie adaptations. The Shining...yeah it was good. But Kathy Bates rocked in Misery.

Thinner was my favorite of the Richard Bachman books. And The Dark Half was a nice play on that whole Bachman back story.

Too many to choose just one.

Agreed on The Long Walk. One of the best books I've ever read, and I'm not being facetious.

THE STAND. Hands down. So terrifying. Followed by MISERY and CARRIE. Then THE SHINING.

The Langoliers.
