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:
Could not put it down once I picked it up. This story had me from the very beginning, and kept me with its incredible tale. I loved the struggle between good vs. evil, and the fight for post apocolypic earth. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 14. |  | The Shining (Signet)
from Signet
Customer Review:
Without a doubt, The Shining is Stephen King's best novel (okay, maybe it's in a dead heat with It), though it isn't my personal favorite. The themes and characterizations are all expertly handled and mesh well together with one of the best hooks any horror novel has ever had.
The elegant... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Pocket
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I'll risk looking gushy and amateurish according to the standards of book reviewing (see The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing) by giving Bag of Bones 5 stars. So be it--I'll leave the literary analysis to those more qualified. I'll skip a plot summary, too, since there's a nice one-pager for this book... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 16. |  | Nightmares and Dreamscapes
from Signet
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I am an avid reader of King and have read him enough to say that Nightmares and Dreamscapes is definitely worth reading. Probably second best after Night Shift. It has horror as well as Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Literary, Crime, even a Sherlock Holmes Story! Some of my personal favorites are Suffer the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 17. |  | The Eyes of the Dragon
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

Customer Review:
I had never read anything by Stephen King before. I knew he was a prolific and very successful writer of horror stories and I would not have read this were it not for the fact that it was a subject text for one of my book clubs. However, having read it I am of he opinion that Mr. King is a truly... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 19. |  | Hearts in Atlantis
from Pocket
Customer Review:
The 1960s were a very troubling decade for many (most?) U.S. citizens. With a war raging overseas in Vietnam, the "old guard" was pitted against the "new generation" in a clashing of ideals that shaped our nation from that point forward.
Those turbulent times are the setting for Stephen King's... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 20. |  | Black House
from Random House
Customer Review:
Authors Stephen King and Peter Straub's second collaboration is much more than just a sequel to their first, The Talisman. In fact, Black House, draws from the earlier book's mythology only in a few scenes. An older Jack Sawyer returns as the protagonist, but now he's a talented police detective... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
