The Dark Side

I love one of Stephen King's early novels, The Dead Zone. I was so intrigued with the way he took elements from the news about George Wallace and Arthur Bremer and reconstructed them into a novel in which the main character has this ability to touch people and to know their very natures (good and evil). I was so engrossed while reading this that I couldn't put it down even while frying pork chops. Twenty-eight years later I still bear the burn scar on my wrist from a grease splatter. I'd do it again for that book.

The Dark Tower. It's actually seven books:
1.The Gunslinger
2.Drawing of the Three
3.The Waste Lands
4.Wizard and Glass
5.Wolves of the Calla
6.Song of Susannah
7.The Dark Tower
But it's one continuous story. It's about the journey of Roland, a gunslinger, to the centre of the universe (don't think space here, think reality). Not easy to sum up. Some would say it's a western fantasy but it also takes place in our nowaday world.

The girl who loved Tom Gordon... Little girl gets lost in the woods and has to face a bear in the end. Was not quite the same as all the rest, but has a definite King quality of the unknown and supernatural.

I'm with NYS Johnny on this one, definitely The Dark Tower. I'm reading it for the second time, and enjoying it just as much as the first time. Roland is a time traveler on a quest to find the Tower to keep the world from ending, and 3 people join him along the way.

My favorite Stephen King novel was "Delores Clayborn" about a rather crude woman who murders her husband after finding that he molested their daughter. She's thought crazy and ends up being a suspect in the murder/death of her employer, another crazy old woman. Her daughter hates her, but finds understanding when she returns to help her mother fight the charges.

For sheer terror and horror: Pet Semetary,
It's hard to belive the guy who spooked a nation with The Shining, Carrie, Dead Zone, etc could floor us with Stand By Me and Shakshank Redemption.
Kudos to Stephen

It know it's four novellas and not a novel, but I just love Different Seasons. 'Shawshank Redemption', 'Apt Pupil', 'The Body' (Stand By Me), 'Breathing Lessons'? You can't go wrong.
If you're looking for a full novel from me, then I'd have to say Salem's Lot. I always love a good Vampire yarn.
