I quite like some of Steven King's stuff - for example The Shining and Carrie and, of course, Kujo. There was one with a clown in that I didn't particularly like, but then I find clowns really creepy anyway.
Husband likes Steven King's books and has read most of them (He's creepy as well).

I was hooked on him after I first read Kujo. I liked David Soul in Salem's Lot, a great tale. One of my favourite actress Kathy Bates was brilliant in Misery, she had a good cure for itchy feet, another smashing story. Stephen King is up there with the best of horror writers in my opinion.

My favourites are The Dark Tower series, and The Talisman and its sequel Black House, and, of course, "IT!"
