Stephen King’s Best And Worst Books

The follow-up to King’s bestselling 1981 novel dares to ask the question “What if Cujo was a five-pound Chihuahua mix?”

King’s opus about a possessed child terrorizing his neighbors led to an infamous feud with director Chris Columbus after its film adaptation was sanitized into Home Alone.

This spine-tingling story about a man who wakes up and discovers that all 10 of his fingers have turned into middle fingers remains one of King’s most terrifying tales.

Still considered one of the most frightening books ever written, despite King only doing this to a few readers.

What’s better than one dome? Two domes.

A couple is awoken by a mysterious noise outside, but both are too scared to check and see what it was, so they go back to sleep.

In this novel, King introduces readers to an underwhelming new monster called the “Sponge Vampire,” an undead creature who sneaks into people’s kitchens to suck the moisture out of their wet sponges.

A friendless teen girl struggles to take revenge on her bullies when her only superpower is a tolerance to lactose.

A mild-mannered insurance salesman from Maine accidentally runs over a demon’s foot with his lawn mower. As punishment, the demon forces him to eat hot dogs until he dies. He dies after eating four hot dogs. The book is 900 pages long.

King’s 1982 novel was panned by critics as a thinly veiled attempt at soliciting readers to send him cocaine in the mail.
