I read a ton of Stephen King as a kid and I think my kid will be into it, but I’m not sure which book would be a good entry point. He has so many different types of story from weird to horror to mind bending. What would you use as a good entry for his horror? For an 11 year old.

Update… Thank you so much everyone! This thread is making me want to reread the books myself too 😄

    Also The Body by his pseudonym Richard Bachman, in the book Different Seasons, which was remade into the movie Stand By Me.

      Oh yeah, great call. That movie was the best thing I’d ever seen even before I was old enough to start reading King.
