Oh, and while it’s not necessarily “horror”, I thought Cat’s Eye was fun.

The last King book I read was It, which concluded with an 11-year-old girl getting gangbanged by all her friends. That was the end for me. I didn't read It when it first came out, though, so there were a few of his later books that I read prior to that. Chronologically, the last King book I bought was the fourth Dark Tower, but much like the fourth Dune book, it was so shitty that I was never able to finish it.

I really enjoyed some of his earlier stuff, particularly The Stand and Pet Sematary.

Pet Sematary is one I always meant to read but never got around to. "It" was a book that would have benefited from an editor.

Yeah, somebody who might have said, "Dude, you wrote a gangbang scene of a little girl. What the **** is wrong with you?"



But Pet Sematary was awesome. The ending where the main guy is walking through the marsh towards the burial ground is truly terrifying. Too bad they butchered that scene in the movie.
