(as of Dec 06, 2024 00:55:08 UTC - Details)
For new fans - or newcomers considering delving into Stephen King's novels and stories - King's immense body of work can be daunting, overwhelming, even. My hope is that this list can provide an easily digestible menu potential King readers can cross-reference with their own interests, thereby providing insights into where they might want start or what they might want to read next.
This edition of this chapbook was published in July 2015 and does not include any of King's works published after that time, though occasional updates are planned.

Title: Good, concise ranked list of Stephen King's works
Review: This is a nice short book that does exactly what it states in it's title.It list's the author's own subjective opinion of what constitutesStephen King'sbest works. Being a published author himself, his opinion carries some weight.The list basically counts down from 25 to 1...when I say basically, the authortakes thefollowing liberties...list item #19 is King's Novellas with the author highlighting what he feelsare the best novella's from among King's 3 Novella collections; item #14 is the Bill Hodges trilogy,of which only the 1st 2 books had been published as of this book's current printing; item #10 is theentire Dark Tower series of 8 books; and item #9 is King's Short Stories with the author againhighlighting what he feels are the best short stories' from among King's many short story collections.So more King is crammed in for review, which is fine.With every list item the author does a very nice job of summarizing that particular story or stories (without givingtoo much of the plot away); and gives sound reasoning why he rank's each story at it's place in the list.The book would have been even better with a simple bibliography as a cross-reference.I liked the book, it is helping me choose what to read as I get back into Stephen King.
