No doubt in my mind stephen kings scariest book has got to be "The Shining" because it hits you at so many levels: The feeling of isolation, The slow spiral into madness that happens to Jack Torrence, The helplessness of his wife and kid as they are basically imprisoned in a large, snowbound motel for the winter. And the best and scariest part of the book is that he based the "Overlook Hotel" on a REAL place.
"The Stanley Hotel" in Estes Park, Colorado. The Stanley has been investigated by many paranormal investigators and it is yet to be proven "not haunted".

My rule of thumb with Stephen King is the fewer deaths, the scarier I find it. Too many deaths diminishes the suspense factor. The Shining and a novella from Skeleton Crew ("The Mist"?) are my favorites.

"IT" is one of my best-loved stephen king novels. Not only is it a horror story but it chronicles a friendship, and even the history of a town, over time. This book contained one of the most descriptive narration ever -- in the chapter entitled "The Apocalyptic Rockfight" I felt that I was there! It's stephen king at his best...

'The Jaunt' and 'Gramma' in 'Skeleton Crew'. 'The Mist' ranks high too. Those are way scary. I've read almost everything written by King, and I find his short stories to be scarier than his novels.

'Misery' is the one that freaked me out. Since it was all focused on those two, you really got into the screwed up pathology of both characters.
Crazy humans are always scarier than any monster.

Dolores Claiborne, the rationalization of murder and the question of sanity are always scary

Scariest, I would have to say either "IT" or ""Cell". They are equally scary.

Salem's Lot - most definitely!
