from Plume
Customer Review:
This series is outstanding!!!! True King fans love it, and I think it's an interesting change for those who may not care for King's normal "horror" genre. Bits and pieces of this masterpiece are hinted at in many of King's other books,a nice "inside joke" for King's Constant... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Signet

Customer Review:
No wonder there's a saying..."as scarce as clean paper in Stephen King's house." I know it's daunting, but worth every word. This timeless plot of good vs. evil rides again gallantly as King puts the characters through their paces. I read the edited version and then the uncut...well worth the extra... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is a great book, and Kings most underrated stories. It was easy to read through, but still gave just enough detail to paint a picture. The story bittersweet, one of both tragedy and triumph. The characters seemed real, vivid, and people you could actually feel for.
This is the only book in... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Here's a collection of 20 short stories, a script, a poem, a parable and an article on...
Little League baseball.
Which is the best thing in the book, amazingly enough. You realise this after forgetting how long you had been reading it, wondering what the hell will happen to this motley... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Signet
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
A departure from the usual SK, but with tie-ins to other novels. The hero Peter reminds me a bit of the Jack Sawyer character in the Talisman. For King readers a must, for others a take it or leave it. | 4.5 / 5.0

from Pocket
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Stephen King has produced many books that I really enjoy, and I am partial to his shorter stories/less "scary" type works - such as Stand By Me (The Body), Apt Pupil, Shawkshank Redemption and the Green Mile (though it does have some elements that are not quite reality.)
I read the series when... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Hearts in Atlantis
from Pocket
Customer Review:
A collection of sorts, based around the sixties experience and Vietnam, from early teenagerhood to many years later, following some people intersecting paths over the years. Maybe a touch autobiographical from what the author says in the intro.
The supernatural bad guys in the first long... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Black House
from Random House
Customer Review:
If you enjoyed the Talisman, of course you need to read Black House. If you have NOT read the Talisman, I suggest you do so before Black House. A slight departure for King, it has a unique style that may be the Peter Straub influence. (Koko and Ghost Story are highly suggested reads by Mr. Straub)... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
