Since the early 1970s, Stephen King has been America's most famous horror writer and one of my favorites when I'm look for intense plots and vivid characters of suspense and horror.

Kings books have been a mainstay of paperback book racks everywhere, and have spawned a multi-media franchise that includes movies like Stephen King's "N.", TV shows, video games and comic books. King can be seen in cameo appearances in most movies made from his story's.

Some of his memorable string of bestsellers began with Carrie (1974), and his early horror novels include Salem's Lot (1975), The Shining (1977) and The Dead Zone(1979), all of which have been adapted for film or television.

So what is your favorite Stephen King book? I enjoyed The Stand. Why you ask? Its a brilliant read... There is no other reason - it has been done so well with the plot and characters. All his books are great as they are very deep in plot and character creation. He is truly one of the greatest authors in this world.
