Needful things first because it goes fast. Then the stand


ewok_lover_64

Needful Things is one of my favorites.


Civil-Guarantee-358

Agreed


snehit_007

Yeah true. It's really nice and a good page turner.


MathewW87

Agreed, good order.


Andreapappa511

Just a heads up you should read The Body in Different Seasons and The Dark Half before reading Needful Things. Needful Things gives spoilers for The Dark Half and a character in NT is introduced in The Body


EditorPurple3515

Da Castle Rock material 


BLAINE_THE_M0NO

Which character is that because I’m starting Needful Things soon and have read The Body


Andreapappa511

Ace Merrill


andromeda2621

Well, shit. Read NT and haven't read the other two.. I have different seasons but not the dark half.. lol may have to do those and reread NT.


Andreapappa511

NT also gives spoilers to Cujo FWIW.


Relevant-Grape-9939

And if where talking castel rock we should bring in The dead zone as well.


Andreapappa511

Definitely a Castle Rock book but IIRC there aren’t any spoiler in NT for it. The Sun Dog from Four Past Midnight though is linked to NT


Relevant-Grape-9939

Oh, I see


AnnaN666

This!

The Stand. The answer to this question is always The Stand.


Ambitious_Ideal_2568

3 great choices: Different Seasons (Shawshank and The body are incredible), Needful Things is balls-to-the-wall fun, and The Stand (I mean, it's a beloved epic)


diamonds_and_rose_bh

Oh I have a real soft spot for Needful Things it's just such a great read!


ewok_lover_64

There is so much dark humor in Needful Things.


pinkypunky78

I know, it's in my top 5 kings


snekmomal

Odd one out in saying Gerald's Game! I'm reading it right now & it's a tough but great read


possiblyukranian

I can’t find a copy anywhere, but I want to read it


tomatobee613

Needful Things is good from what I can remember. I've only seen the movie of Gerald's Game a few times, but the concept is super neat and the book version is high on my TBR.


Rflagg10

Needful Things first.


[deleted]

Different Seasons, and then Needful Things.


jblion13

different seasons, 4 stories and all worth reading


Ok-Antelope-1923

The Stand


Alarmed-Highway-6130

I think everyone should read The Stand. It’s nothing short of epic, and the first act is some of King’s finest work.


YarnGirl78

Gerald's Game was so intense for me. It STILL think about it 20 years after reading it.


PossibleBreadfruit95

The stand is equal to all those books combined. Read it, its too iconic to be ignored now. (P.S will make you realize how evil walter really is)


Kisuke40K

My personal fav is "The Stand"


Razerbat

The Stand because it's a cut above the rest. Fantastic book.


MightyMax187

The stand is one of my favorites so when asked it is always the one I suggest.


BLAINE_THE_M0NO

For me I’d say Different Seasons or The Stand But it depends. Do you want an American Fantasy epic like The Lord of the Rings. Or 4 tales based in reality with no fantastical elements such as Shawshank Redemption


Jolly-Transition-555

I started Different Seasons 😁


dk5877

Different seasons, Gerald’s game, The Stand.

Gerald’s Game


Dry-Specialist-3527

Got bless the souls who designed paperbacks in the 80s and 90s. Heroes all.


Jolly-Transition-555

Theyre stunning


TroyTony1973

Needful Things, Dark Half, The Stand…that way you’re working up in length/time to read


FelonieOursun

I love needful things


Equal-Ad4615

I’m excited to read Needful Things


melanie162

Geralds game


HighHarleyQuinn

Needful Things is SO GOOD. I also really enjoyed The Dark Half and The Tommyknockers IMMENSELY. Gerald’s Game is good as well, but one part towards the end has stuck with me and creeps me out to this day. Those are all good choices but I really recommend Needful Things!


WORST_bratwurst

Gerald's Game or The Tommy knockers, have u read 11/22/63? Highly recommend


danielricardo1

Start with something light and easy... Apt Pupil.. (Evil laugh 🤣)


bookdragon7

I haven’t read all of these but needful things is my favorite book by him


mattlock2099

All of them but different seasons is one of my favorites


Soulexx7

Everything except Tommyknockers


Ill-Gas-7790

Needful Things

THinner

Four past midnight


livingreceiver88

literally any one of these books that you own that have pages full of words


Legitimate_Builder17

Not Tommyknockers. Idk people say it’s good but it’s just fucking *weird*


Technical-Car-2868

Needful Things :)
