I loved The Stand and Carrie, I've read others but don't remember them! Nothing too long or heavy

The Dark Tower really really really resonated with me as a teenager. As did It and the stand. I liked goosebumps and horror in general. In recent years I read the Stand again and I realised I have a lot of questions about the story I didn’t have when I was young. So it really depends when in life you read them.

But one I haven’t seen mentioned much is Tommyknockers. I really liked it and of course you follow an author. Running man, the longe walk I liked too. Rage is an odd read, maybe because of the context of its legacy.

I prefer his older books. But only because I don’t like Krimis (Crime fiction). Therefore Mr Mercedes and later the Holly stories don’t work for me as good as his older books.

Joe Hill (his son) writes similar stories located at the east cost. Initially I thought I read his dad’s work.

I saw the advert for the film of the long walk, it looks great
