Let's chat about all things Stephen King!
So, what was the first Stephen KIng story that you read? For me, it was The Colorado Kid.

I freaking squealed when I saw a chat titled Stephen King! Just recently I've started reading some of his books. I actually read a biography about him and did a presentation on it for AP English, and that's what got me interested in his books. The first one I had ever read was Pet Sematary, but I never got to finish it because my grandma is reading it and she hasn't given it back yet.
After I read The Colorodo Kid I read Under the Dome, Carrie, Revival, and Cujo. I started to read Salem's Lot, The Tommyknockers, The Talisman, and Duma Key. I don't really have a favorite by him, but I do enjoy how the man writes!

Same! I have Duma Key and I really want to read Cujo and Carrie!
I recently watched Gerald's Game. Honestly, I find the more realistic stories to be creepier than the other ones. I've watched Cujo, Misery, Under the Dome (tv series), Silver Bullet, Christine, Carrie (all versions), and others. Sadly haven't watched either version of It yet, but I'll eventually get around to that. Oh, and I've also wathced The Green Mile, Thinner, and Dreamcather.

Oh my god the handcuff scene in Gerald's Game… dude I couldn't watch that
That was very gory, and had me cringing!

Same! I've always thought that I could handle gore pretty well, but I had to close my eyes at that part
I miss watching Haven, which was loosely based off of The Colorodo Kid.

I toughed it out, and made it through that without looking away!

Ahh, I don't think I could ever do that!
It was difficult! I'm thinking about re-reading Under the Dome, even though I have a few books that I haven't read yet.

I haven't read that one either. What's it about?
It's about a dome that mysteriously falls down over a town, and the people inside are faced with the struggles of being closed off from the outside world. Families are seperated, and of course, there's a bunch of crazy stuff that happens. It's mostly suspense in my opinion, but it's a great read either way!

That sounds pretty cool! I might read it at some point.
I started reading IT, but haven't really gotten around to finishing it yet, but I would like to read Carrie and Pet Sematary. Also Cujo sounds good

Under the Dome got pretty bad reviews though (mainly because of the ending, but not going to spoil it). If you want to start getting into King and don't want to read a large novel, I would really recommend his collections of short stories like Night Shift - they're just as good as his books IMO.
Has anyone read:
- From a Buick 8 (About another possessed car, and the story's told in a flashback style - IMO it's not that great because it gets repetitive, but some people love it)
- Different Seasons
- Four Past Midnight (The Langoliers is one of the best Stephen King works I've read, and I loved the suspense! Haven't read Secret Window or The Sun Dog yet)
Finally finished reading Salem's Lot; onward to The Shining! I'm gonna try to read all the books in the order that they came out, but I have read some of his other works already; gonna read them again!
