Stephen King

Scribner, 2008

Truly mind blowing
I am a huge fan of Stephen King. Some of his stories truly scare me. A couple of months ago I picked up Duma Key. This book is so great. I'm an author myself and I learn so much from Stephen King every time I pick up one his books. In Duma Key Edgar Freemantle ...

Stephen King

Pocket, 2006

Keeps getting better!
Stephen King is a genious. This series is fantastic. This series will blow your mind and keep your imagination running! If you like the idea of an alternate reality this series is really for you!

Just After Sunset: Stories
Stephen King

Scribner, 2008

Stephen King-who has written more than fifty books, dozens of number one New York Times bestsellers, and many unforgettable movies-delivers an astonishing collection of short stories, his first since Everything's Eventual six years ago. As guest editor of the bestselling Best American Short Stories 2007, King spent over a year reading hundreds of ...

The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, Book 1)

Stephen King

Plume, 2003

Hail Gunslinger
The first book in the Dark Tower series recently got a facelift from Stephen King, in an effort to make it more consistent with the latter books in the series. Even so, he was not able to greatly improve on an already outstanding novel, and a raw, dark, disturbing ...

The Best American Short Stories 2007 (The Best American Series (TM))

Houghton Mifflin, 2007

What a wonderful book!
The best book I have read in a long time. All of the stories stay with you after you read them and make you think about them and what they had to tell. With some of them I didn't like the style they were written in but that is why it is a collection, it cannot cater to ...

The Gunslinger Born (The Dark Tower Graphic Novel)

Peter David, Stephen King, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Great back story for the Dark Tower series
This was a really good book and added to the over all story of the Dark Tower story line. The illustration was great and made the story come to life. The only draw back is if you have not read the Dark Tower series you may feel as if you were left hanging.

On Writing

Stephen King

Pocket, 2002

This is how it's done!
Until I read On Writing by Stephen King, I had never read any of his books. To be honest, since On Writing, I've only read one other of his books which I didn't like so we've come to an impasse.... however On Writing is one of the best books I've read. The first ...

Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse

Stephen King, Cory Doctorow, ...

Night Shade Books, 2008

Not Free SF Reader
Wastelands is pretty close to the perfect anthology, making just a touch over the magic 4.00 story average. For an authoritative (the editor does say he is now an expert) look at the sub-genre, it is a bit light on for analytical non-fiction. For readers, less ...

The Stand: Expanded Edition: For the First Time Complete and Uncut (Signet)

Stephen King

Signet, 1991

Insane, epic and brilliant
There are plenty of pitfalls that drag epic, amibitous novels down; plots that don't hold up for a thousand plus pages, characters that grow tiresome, repetitive themes that feel like a broken record halfway through the book. The Stand avoids all of these. The cast ...

The Drawing of the Three (The Dark Tower, Book 2)

Stephen King

Signet, 2003

Best book in a great series
This is a great book. It's one of my favorite series, because it is epic fantasy told by a master of supernatural horror whose strongest talent as a writer is his ability to depict realism, particularly realistic people and human interaction -- that's a good ...

The Gingerbread Girl

Stephen King

Simon & Schuster Audio, 2008

Suspensful and Engrossing
This story had me on the edge of my seat, begging to hear more and gasping in fear right along with Emily. I became Emily in my imagination and suffered along with her. Her fears were mine as well as her triumphs. This is one I will listen to again and share with my ...

It (Signet Books)

Stephen King

Signet, 1987

Long and scary.
When I went to the checkout counter to buy this book, the clerk said, "Oh, this book is great up until the last 70 or so pages." I kinda agree; the ending is a little out there, but everything that led up to it is great.

Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower, Book 4)

Stephen King

Signet, 2003

I LOVE this series
After each book in this series ends I can't wait to start the next one. If you haven't read the first three books you need it they are awesome!

The Sandman Vol. 8: Worlds' End

Neil Gaiman, Stephen King

Vertigo, 1995

...within stories, within stories, within stories...
Are Sandman fans such because they love the characters (Dream, Delirium, etc.) or because they love the writings of Neil Gaiman? I'd imagine that there are both types, and that most of us are somewhere on a continuum in-between. I mention this, because those of ...

The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower (King, Stephen)

Stephen King

Donald M. Grant/Scribner, 2004

MAGNIFICENT CONCEPT: The symbolic trials and tribulations of an author's quest to write and complete his creation: his book.
Stephen King the author of the Dark Tower series is of course the Gunslinger: from the first volume to the seventh. In one of the most amazing symbolic epics ever written Stephen King has documented the loneliness and creative efforts of an author in his quest (the ...
