I had never read a Stephen King book until my favorite author recommend I pick one up, and ever since the hyper fixation began. Hence, this video was born.

I love how openminded you are when reading new genres. It's been so cool to see you dive in to new things. If you can handle Misery though, I think you can handle a good amount of horror out there. Misery haunts me, but people scare me more than monsters or ghosts ever will. If you want to try scary Stephen King books that have a very human element, I recommend Dolores Claiborne, Carrie, and The Stand.

I've been reading Stephen King for 30 years and he is, without a doubt, my favorite author! It's so cool to see people discovering his work and immediately falling in love. He definitely has some weird stuff, but also true masterpieces. Btw, you should totally read the Mr Mercedes trilogy (also known as the Bill Hodges trilogy) - it's not a horror, but a psychological thriller, an intricate game of cats and mouse. Uncle Stevie at his finest!

@nabeehamalik8762 6 ай бұрын

Hi! I know this is a pretty late reply lol but I really want to get into his horror books (I have never read a King book before) Which one would you recommend as the best horror book from him? Where should I start?

@katyavinogradova7688 6 ай бұрын

@nabeehamalik8762 Hi! I appreciate your interest in my recommendation! To me, the scariest Stephen King book is The Outsider, especially the first part, when it's just the horror of what people can do to each other. But it's a relatively recent book and it has the tie-in with the Mr Mercedes trilogy, so maybe it's best saved for later. I would start with Kujo - that was my first King book and it hooked me right away. I read it one sitting - it's not too long and once the action starts, it doesn't let go. Then I would definitely say It, although it is a long book, but it's amazing and has some truly horrifying moments. Finally, by his own admission, the scariest book to Stephen King himself is Pet Sematary, and I agree - I still remember how I read the last pages over 20 years ago and immediately after went to take out the trash... at night. Best to stay home after you finish that book, that's all I'm saying 😅 These would be my top recommendations 👏

Misery is my favorite novel he's written. King is the reason I started writing and publishing my short stories. The guy is so down to Earth and loves sharing his secrets on writing. A lot of what he says in 'On Writing', inspired me to get off my ass and go for it. Enjoy reading more of his work, and good luck on your future writing journey. It's all worth the effort. **On a side note, The Outsider is great too.

Such an enjoyable video. I've been reading King for 30 years and it's lovely to watch someone discover him. If you're looking for King horror it's got to be Pet Sematary. However my specific recommendation is that you listen to the audiobook of Dolores Claiborne. It works better in audio format than on the page and you'll understand why if you listen. It's not a horror. It is a great book that gets constantly overshadowed by his horror greatest hits but it's a gem. I envy you having so many of his books yet undiscovered! Enjoy!

If you accept suggestions, give the following books a chance: Lisey's Story, The Talisman, and Mr. Mercedes.

Began The Stand three days ago. My first Stephen King novel. Little did I know, it is his longest novel. 1153 pages, approximately 500,000 words. It's a chonky little fella with small print. Understably, it looks intimidating, but with his writing style, word choice, and fantastic story telling, I am able to read through this at my top reading speed without sacrificing any comprehension. To read fast without losing comprehension of the story speaks volumes to an author's writing. This was his 4th book and I'm excited to read another. Definitely going to buy Billy Summers, Fairy Tale, The Shining, and The Outsider. I also have his memoir. The man can write.

Stephen King is by far the best author out there. From the moment you pick up his books, you are hooked from the beginning and not many authors can achieve that. His books are the type that when you have to put it down, you cant wait to get back to it and think about it most of the day until you can. I really liked Rose Madder. Quite disturbing though but i read that one real quick. Im currently reading Fairy Tale and again, hooked!

I've had a very similar experience with him in the past couple years. My girlfriend got me On Writing because I liked the movies based on his books and I love writing.

You go, girl! Welcome to the Stephen King Fan Club! IMO, the earlier King books might even be better than the later books, or at least some of them. The Stand is highly regarded and might be his best. Some of his scariest (and best) books are Salem's Lot, The Shining, and Pet Sematary. For other non-scary stories I'd recommend The Green Mile and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, which is actually a novella. But by all means try one of the horror novels, just to see how masterfully he writes them. Good luck---and try reading them in the daytime.

This was great to see. Some people think he’s overrated but he really is a master storyteller. You chose two of my favourite King books too…nicely put together video. I’m impressed with how much you read in one week.

You should definitely read the stand by stephen king! It was such an amazing book it's a little intimidating because it's 1,160 pages or so but definitely a 5 star read in my opinion:)

Hi Haley! I'm so happy you are reading Stephen King he is one of my favourite authors ever, I recommend Pet Sematary if you want a book that is a little creepy but not horror-horror, it was a bit slow in parts but I loved the ending and always catch myself thinking about it and all the characters, I love your videos they always make me so happy! xx

I feel you with writing. I say go for it if you want to do it. I'm a writer working towards self publication of a novel series and I'm currently working on rewriting the first novel since certain things needed to be added to the story to enhance it. It takes a while to write and edit your first novel, but it is so worth it. You learn a lot about yourself and the craft of writing through the process of writing, rewriting, and editing your first novel.

First time viewer of your channel, long time Stephen King fan. It was so awesome to see your road of discovery! And I'm jealous that you got to experience my favourite King book (11/22/63) so early on in your journey. I'm already curious what you think of gems like The Green Mile, Mr. Mercedes, or (slight shiver) the Dark Tower books... Thanks for this video, it made me want to read another King book as my next novel.

I read Billy Summers after watching your authors recommend books video and it was a complete 5 star for me too, was going to read more but was hesitant, so this video could not have come at the more perfect time!

I have watched your videos since we were 15. You are the one who really got me into dancing when I was younger. Now you are the one who has gotten me into reading! Hearing that you want to be an author makes me so happy! I would be one of the first people in line for your first book!
