They are all very readable and enjoyable. Enjoyed Christine a lot also The Stand, Misery, Pet Sematry, Cujo , Salems Lot , The Dark Half, but I think my favourite so far is the non horror The Eyes Of The Dragon.

Other......The Stand,followed very closely by IT and The Dark Tower series.

I also really dig The Long Walk,but that's a novella,and probably my favorite novella of his.After reading it you never look at something so simple as walking the same ever again.

I have tried promoting his sons work in the book thread but no one seems interested so I will try here.

Check out Joe Hill and his excellent novels Heart Shaped Box and Horns.

You won't be disappointed.

20th Century Ghosts(a book of short stories),is actually Joe Hill's first published work.I was fortunate enough to find it,but from what I understand it is a bit rare.I enjoyed it,but his two novels are so much better.

One of the things I like about Hill is he isn't trying to ride his Dad's coattails,he uses his middle name as his last so know one will know he is King's son.Funny thing is,his writing style and subject matter is similar to his fathers.

^Well, I like short stories more than novels. It's easy to find the other books of Hill here in the brazilian libraries, but I want to read their short stories first.
