I read a ton of Stephen King as a kid and I think my kid will be into it, but I'm not sure which book would be a good entry point. He has so many different types of story from weird to horror to mind bending. What would you use as a good entry for his horror? For an 11 year old.

Update... Thank you so much everyone! This thread is making me want to reread the books myself too ๐Ÿ˜„

I read a collection of King's short stories when I was about 12, and they still haunt me to this day. I also read all these Michael Crichton books and they were much more my style at the time
