"Even though I peed myself, I knew that this was a creator I was going to be following the rest of my life." - Edward Lorn 3:48

Finally someone put bag of bones in their top 5!

There is my list: 5. Misery 4. Pet sematary 3. The stand 2. The shining 1. It

Great video! I wasn't surprised to see IT on this list but Bag of Bones and The Waste Lands was something I didn't expect hah.

Here is my list 5 Cristine 4 the shinning 3 IT 2 the long walk 1 cujo

An interesting selection indeed Edward! The first SK book I ever read - bizarrely - was Rose Madder, at the tender age of 10. I recall it fondly, and interestingly, haven't ever reread it. Completely agree with your opinion regarding The Waste Lands - a superb, and highly organised entry in the DT series. And yes, IT too is my favourite King novel, for the reasons you stated and many others. A true masterpiece. Thanks for sharing! Ian

I love these Stephen King lists! I'm so jealous of your collection too!

Hey Mr. Lorn, just recently got back into Stephen King books and found ur channel. Love ur videos man! Bag of Bones in my top 5 as well so glad to see some love for it. Take care sir! 😁

I've had Bag of Bones in my TBR for over a year, and I was thinking I could just pass on Revival. You've shaken up my plans a bit.

Thanks for the videos Ed! Just found your channel and your videos are very enjoyable to watch

I loved reading IT so much that it somehow managed to cure my insomnia. 2nd day of reading it and I slept like a baby. For at least three months anyway. I'm guessing I just got so immersed in the story that whatever kept me from sleeping was just no longer an issue.

My top 5: 1. Wizard and Glass 2. The Stand 3. Pet Semetary 4. The Shining 5. Different Seasons - more specifically Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. What an uplifting story!

My top 5: 5: Cujo 4: Misery 3: 11/22/63 2: The Stand (Uncut) 1: Under The Dome

IT is definitely my favorite SK book. The Waste Lands was very good too. I’ve read the first 3 books of the DT series. My plan is to finish the series this winter. I haven’t read many SK books, but my friend and I are reading through his books in order of publication. Great list!

I never heard of you channel before but I subscribe to an email list from LT Vargus and Tim McBain telling me about it. Glad you got your 1,000 subscribers, well deserved! Great list. I'll definitely give those I haven't yet a read.

Great great great. Love your passion

I love pet semetary it’s my favorite stephen king novel. Also there is not a doubt in my mind that Ellie has the shine.

I love your channel. Thanks so much for all you do. I’m not much of a horror reader except King; I usually prefer classics but you’ve inspired me to branch out a little. I really want to read The Terror. It’s on my list. So far, The Shining was the scariest book I’ve ever read. I’m working on the Exorcist but not sure if I’ll get though it. The idea just scares me AND I live alone so I gotta be careful.

This is insane.... IT number 1 of course, and nr 2 Pet Sematary, yes! These are my two favorites by far.. You're the first person to share my opinion on nr 2... Haven't read 3-5 yet, but am planning to start on The Dark Tower...

bag of bones was amazing. I need to read it again. Its been years. One of the only books that had 40 plus page chapters that I didnt get tired of reading.

I’ve never met/listened to/read someone who so closely mirrors my personal type five. I agree so wholeheartedly with four of these five that you’ve made me decide to go back and try Revival again. I just couldn’t into that one. I loved the beginning, but the dragging of the middle and the odd ending (an ending I do find terrifying though) just turned me off. If I could replace it, I would pick Insomnia. I know many people consider this one of his weakest but man, I just find it fascinating. I love the old geezer PIC and the DT series tie-ins, but something about the actual issue of insomnia, grief, moving on in old age, radicalized locals, and the women’s issues along with the writing style just solidifies it in my top five. Also it was the first full SK I ever read in its entirety. I was in the ninth grade. IT was read directly afterwards. I began my collection immediately and now own all of his work along with a couple first additions and rare Bachman’s. Much love, my guy. Keep up the good work.

The Long Walk and IT are my favorites.

My first Stephen King book was Insomnia. I remember that particular book fondly.

I haven't read all of his books yet. My top 5 is: 1. The regulators 2. 11/22/63 3. The long walk 4. Desperation 5. Christine

I read pet semetary the week my mom died, the books themes resonated with me and actually helped me grieve as i could relate with the father

I’ve always loved King for his character development. Bag of Bones is also a favorite of mine.

"It to me Citisen Cane of horror" One of the best descriptions of this book I've ever heard!

I can't manage a TOP five since I've only read five: Insomnia, Misery, The Dead Zone, 'Salem's Lot, and Blaze. I've probably seen three times that many movie/tv productions of his works.

That's so weird, I also saw Pet Semetary at a drive in double feature with Child's Play with my parents and younger brother. I think I was 6, and it was the only time I stayed up for both movies because I wanted the kids to be okay. It was the first Stephen King book I read, it's my favorite and the one I've reread the most. Bag of Bones was one I really enjoyed, and Revival was great. I'm still working on the Dark Tower books, but thanks for the list!

Spot on with the citizen Kane description of IT. It is easily my favorite King novel, so well written and the pace just moves effortlessly. Great video, you have a new subscriber here!

Definitely agree with # 1! Haven't gotten around to Revival yet but I should give it a try

1- ‘Salem’s Lot. 2- Full Dark, No Stars/ Under the Dome. 3- Misery. 4- Christine. 5- Doctor Sleep.

I've only recently gotten into reading king's books.. so far my favourites have been Pet semetary, Misery and The Green Mile.. thanks for further suggestions 😄

You know a writer is good when everyone has a similar yet very different list of favorite stories/novels/collections

Just found your channel! LOVE King!!! (And Dean!) will catch up on your vids soon!!!

My top 5: 1: 11/22/63 2: The Stand (uncut) 3: Wolves of the Calla 4: Needful Things 5: The Shining

Where would you rank: "The Stand" ?

List so far 5. Saloms Lot 4. Fire starter 3. The shining 2. Christine (big surprise for me gave me IT vibes at times) 1. IT (our pals in Derry will never be forgotten that story will be with me for life.)

IT is a book everyone should read. I dont care for your genre preference, this book should be read by everyone lol

IV only read the long walk from king and I absolutely loved it. Not sure where to go from there tho.

My favorite King work is The Talisman...love it

My list 1. IT 2 The Shining 3. Carrie 4. Salem’s Lot 5. Misery Still have yet to re-read Pet Semetary. I probably don’t fully understand the grief and sadness towards the end of the book because I’m a bit heartless and just love reading about people getting killed. I also don’t have kids because so I can’t really relate to Lois Creed.

I remember reading pet semetery when I was around 16 and I might want to re read it again soon since it was pretty good

5. The TommyKnockers (flawed in places but still a peach of an idea) / The Shining. 4. The Stand 3. Pet Cemetery 2. Salem's Lot 1. The Long Walk

~ My 5 ~ 1. The Stand 2. The Dead Zone 3. Revival 4. Pet Sematary 5. Full Dark, No Stars

I am glad someone put Bag of Bones on a top 5 list. It was such a great book. Also, IT is a much greater book than The Stand! What a great list!

I love the list. I haven't read Revival. I've tried several times but dnf. I'll give it another go. I'm the same with Liseys Story.

I’d love to see an update to this now that the institute and the outsider exist. Personally my five would be: The stand IT The Shining Pet sematary Carrie or Rage I’m only about 15 books in though.

Hey love your stuff. I have read IT, Pet Sematary, Carrie, The Shinning and im almost done The Stand was wondering what you would recommend for my next read

We have the exact same tie for number one: Pet Sematary and It. They showcase more than any other book all the things King is the master at. I call It the To Kill a Mockingbird of horror novels.

Love your videos :) just subbed

The _Pet Sematary_ audio book with Michael C. Hall is fantastic. It really sounds like Dexter Morgan is committing the most atrocious sins while trying to keep his composure.

I have 7 Stephen king books and 1 audiobook so far. For physical books I have; IT, Carrie, Cujo, The Shinning, Pet Sematary, Misery, Fire Starter, and 11/22/63. For audiobook I have The Stand on my moms Audible account since she gave me one of her free credits to use.

I loved Revival surprisingly great read.

Dolores claiborne is a great one too

Out of your list, I've only read Pet Sematary and IT! Oh my God Zelda in that film scared the shit out of me, I've never watched it since ahaha. I'm not sure what my full top 5 would be, there's so many I want to read, but definitely in the top 2 would be The Green Mile and Misery!

Great to see love for Revival!

You know...I've never read IT. Guess what I just bought. :D Thanks for this channel. It is keeping my reading revival going!

12: Carrie 11: The Dark Tower 1 10: 1922 9: Finders Keepers 8: Gwendy’s Button Box 7: End Of Watch 6: The Shining 5: Misery 4:The Dark Tower 2 3: Pet Sematary 2: Salem’s Lot 1: Mr Mercedes

it is one of my faves too carrie and firestarter as well for me carrie because i realte to her from begin bullied in elemtary school

I'm reading the old King's stuff. IT is now what I read, but I want to ask: what is new King's stuff? I am looking for mysticism and horror, not mystery/psychological realism if you know what I mean. Is he still writing horror mysticism, or is it more realism dramas? If I want psychological realism, I can read Dostoevsky or de Balzac.

I loved It. Curiously i'm one of the few people i know that didn't enjoy that much Pet Semetary (and it didn't scared me at all). I liked Bag of bones. My unusual top King's novel is Hearts in Atlantis, i really loved that book

Unfortunately I never finished "Bag of Bones", but there are certain scenes that have stuck with me to this day. "Give me that back, that's my dustcatcher." My Top 5: 1. It 2. Pet Sematary 3. Misery 4. Drawing of the Three 5. The Dead Zone

Out of the SK books I've read, I suppose my top 5 would be: 1. It 2. The Talisman (w/ Peter Straub) 3. Needful Things 4. The Shining 5. Pet Sematery Honourable Mention to The Dark Half.

Citizen Kane of horror novels is well put. Your #1 and 2 match mine completely, a close call for sure

I've read bag of bones and loved it even though it was a hard read for me...currently on a second reread and I'm stuck...its so long winded

This is a question for anyone. I read the talisman when I was nine it was my first what I would have called an adult book as a kid, I loved it I was a bright kid but all I remember is the feeling i had while reading it but nothing of the story, so my question is should I read it again. I kinda don’t want to wast my time.

For me: Under the Dome, 11/22/63, Drawing of the Three, It, and Christine. I'd also like to give a nod to the Bill Hodges trilogy, The Shining, and the rest of the Dark Tower series. I also really liked his newest book, The Outsider. Also, yay! Someone else likes Revival. I liked that book. And I'm about to read Pet Sematary.

Pet Sematary (book) was my first experience with King as well. And I agree IT is my favorite too!

Duma key is also one of my favourite

1. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon 2. Firestarter 3. The Drawing of the Three 4. Pet Semetary 5. It

And The Waste Lands was GREAT! I just uh . . . drank a lot reading it, and lived the Motel life. We had this little woodsy area I'd always go to and read. With a couple (stop fooling yourself) shots of Gin to go. Damn, and I need to read BoB and Revival. I'm still working my way through older King books. Loved your Pet Sematary story too, hehe. OZ THE GWEAT AND TEWWIBLE! 😀 Have a good one, man. Sorry I'm a newbie. Lol. IT IS MY FAVORITE TOO :). My first King book. So damn incredible.

King’s “It” scared me so bad I threw the book away (literally). I threw it in the trash so I wouldn’t pick it back up a week or two later thinking I can handle it( as I had already done several times). Of course a month later I bought “it” again, threw that one away too! You would think I would of learned! But, I couldn’t not know what happened to the kids. Finally bought “ it”third time was able to finish it. To be so scared that you swear, promise, curse, that you will not read another page is a talent only king has.

Revival is my absolute favorite piece that he has written

So, I've read 22 books by Stephen King so far, and IT is my favorite one, I love it so much, it's been a few years since I read it and I still remember how scared I was of that book. Anyway, I read Revival as well, but didn't enjoy as much as I thought I would, like it was okay, but not in my top 5. I haven't read Bag of Bones yet, should I give it a try? And btw, have you read the Dark Tower series? Cause I read the first one and didn't like it at all, but everybody tells me it's good, so idk. Great video😀

I have only read 4 full books and reading a 5th right now. 1) IT 2) Misery 3) The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon 4) Carrie Currently reading Revival and I have mix feelings. Im 200 pages in.

I have just started reading Stephen King's novels, I've already read IT and now I'm reading pet semetery. Fun fact, in Finland (I live there) the pet semetery's name is uinu, uinu, lemmikkini=sleep, sleep, my pet. And not lemmikkihautausmaa=the pet semetery.

Great list

Great video

I loved revival so much :)

5. Insomnia 4. Dolores Claiborne 3. Bag of Bones 2. The Green Mile 1. Lisey's Story

I love Revival so much, it’s my favorite one

Stand alone novels list .. my favorites 1. Revival 2. The stand 3. The dark half 4. Desperation 5. it

1 - The Stand 2 - IT 3 - Under The Dome (Underrated) 4 - Salem's Lot 5 - The Shining

My aunt had that clown artwork stuff going too. Always hated spending the night with my cousin.

IT is a very hard read for me. I'm stuck at page 153. It's so slow. In my opinion, the back story could be shaved down a bit. But I'll have to admit, there was some interesting things that happened so far.

Hi E...i agree with a couple of your picks...and everyones top5 will differ but to me 'Salems Lot is almost a perfect book and his best...the main reason is the way he includes the town as a main character....and just the sense of impending dread as the book steamrolls towards its conclusion

the Stand is my #1 and 11/22/63 is tied or #2. It has dropped to #4 for me.

11/23/63 is my #1...and what I'd consider one of King's greatest "literary accomplishments". It and Pet Semetary would also crack my top 5!

my top five: 5. It 4. Carrie 3. Salem's Lot 2. The Stand 1. The Talisman

bag of bones isnt really a fave of mine i kinda skipped that book cause the chapter i was on was really boring so i skipped it and went on to the shining

My top 3 are: 1. IT 2. Misery 3. Needful Things

IT is my favorite novel as well

nice video!

Salem's Lot, The Stand (uncut), and The Dark Tower II are my favorite Stephen King books.

1. The Stand 2. Christine 3. Desperation 4. The Dead Zone 5. Salem's Lot

Great video, totally agree with the number one, even though I despise that scene...my top 5 currently goes like this: 1. It 2. 11/22/63 3. The Stand 4. The Shining 5. Needful Things

Here's my list 5. Cujo 4. Salem's Lot 3. Misery 2. The Shining 1. IT

my list: 5-Cujo 4-IT 3-'Salem's Lot 2-Rage 1-Misery

my top 4 is 1. Shining 2. Misery 3. IT 4. Bag of bones
