What about you guys?

[Cannon Fodder]

My favourite-

The Stand (Extended edition)

Runner's up-

It, The Shining, Misery, The Dead Zone and The Long Walk (Although written as 'Richard Bachman').

[CreepyCrawlerTom]

Needful Things was great, but The Shining was probably the best.

[Lynn]

Mine will always be the Stand. The second isn't a book but a short story called "The Mist."

[Psychocandy]

Frank Darabont has the rights to the novella The Mist and has spoken about how he intends to film it someday. Judging by how faithful The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile were to the source material it should be a damn fine movie. Hope it happens.

Fave King book?

The Stand without a doubt.

[Dr Martin Luther Loomis]

THE SHINING, CARRIE & MISERY are my faves.

[Andrew Tom]

The Dark Tower series without a doubt...
"All Things Serve The Beam"

[pbenvin2]

IT
Rose Madder
Black House w/ Peter Straub
The Bachman Books
Gerald's Game
Nightmare's and Dreamscape's

[Jason Voorhees]

My fave is IT followed by The Stand, The Shining, and the Dark Tower seres in no particular order. Also the Rage by Bachman was a fun read.

[jeffrey_2112]

The Stand

runner ups: Rage (novella), Shawshank (novella), Dark Tower series (Drawing of the Three is fave), Cujo (because it was my first)

Honorable mention: Dolores Claiborne, because I love the way it is written (entirely from Dolores' perspective)

[Jason13thh]

Well I would say It.

[AlienClown]

The Shining/IT for full novels.
And I really loved both Night Shift and Skeleton Crew, great stuff.

[Fettdog]

For me, I'd have to say my faves are The Shining, Salem's Lot, The Stand, Hearts In Atlantis, The Dead Zone, Cujo, Firestarter and his short story collections.

I don't dislike anything that he's done (and I've got all but 3 or 4 of his books) but I do tend to prefer the earlier stuff, probably because I started reading his stuff when I was 8 (way back in 1978!).

Pet Sematary...with out a doubt.

NOTE = Stephen King once said that in his younger years, he was so drugged out on pain pills that he has no recollection of writing CUJO.

What a dork.

[Trixieangel]

I liked It, The Shining, The Dead Zone, Nightmares and dreamscapes, and Hearts In Atlantis. Bag of bones was entertaining but a little too depressing for me.

[Pumpkinhead]

DESPERATION!

[spacemonkey]

i gues most of you missed out on reading the Regulators. Its a really good spooky book. Check it out. I mean if you liked DEsperation youll most certenly like this one. Its not as dark but still scary stuff.

[The Shadow]

BTW, I am reading Desperation right now and am 390out of 547 pages into it. This book is great! It's VERY dark and I like to see God play an intregal part of the story (think : The Stand). I love the gore bits http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif. Regulators is next on my list depending on how much the rest of the book appeals to me http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[spacemonkey]

Hey shadow, read it your gonna like it. Its about...well Id spoil it if i told you but it has to do with some of the characters form desperation and I think its like in the same town, Its has a kid with very peculiar powers thats all Im saying check this baby out it kicks ass!
