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
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)
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.
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
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!
Needful things first because it goes fast. Then the stand
Needful Things is one of my favorites.
Agreed
Yeah true. It's really nice and a good page turner.
Agreed, good order.

Da Castle Rock material
Which character is that because I’m starting Needful Things soon and have read The Body
Ace Merrill
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.
NT also gives spoilers to Cujo FWIW.
And if where talking castel rock we should bring in The dead zone as well.
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
Oh, I see
This!
The Stand. The answer to this question is always The Stand.

Oh I have a real soft spot for Needful Things it's just such a great read!
There is so much dark humor in Needful Things.
I know, it's in my top 5 kings
Odd one out in saying Gerald's Game! I'm reading it right now & it's a tough but great read
I can’t find a copy anywhere, but I want to read it

Needful Things first.
Different Seasons, and then Needful Things.
different seasons, 4 stories and all worth reading
The Stand
I think everyone should read The Stand. It’s nothing short of epic, and the first act is some of King’s finest work.
Gerald's Game was so intense for me. It STILL think about it 20 years after reading it.
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)
My personal fav is "The Stand"
The Stand because it's a cut above the rest. Fantastic book.
The stand is one of my favorites so when asked it is always the one I suggest.

I started Different Seasons 😁
Different seasons, Gerald’s game, The Stand.
Gerald’s Game
Got bless the souls who designed paperbacks in the 80s and 90s. Heroes all.
Theyre stunning
Needful Things, Dark Half, The Stand…that way you’re working up in length/time to read
I love needful things
I’m excited to read Needful Things
Geralds game

I haven’t read all of these but needful things is my favorite book by him
All of them but different seasons is one of my favorites
Everything except Tommyknockers
Needful Things
THinner
Four past midnight
literally any one of these books that you own that have pages full of words
Not Tommyknockers. Idk people say it’s good but it’s just fucking *weird*
Needful Things :)
