Is anyone else here a fan?
I've got a lot of his books mainly picked up from car boots and charity shops, but have to say I haven't read many of them.
I've read The Shining, Misery, Rose Madder and am halfway through Hearts in Atlantis which I am really enjoying.
But my favourite so far has to be Dolores Claiborne. The film is really good as well.
If you are a fan - what's your favourite?

I think I've read all of his. My favourite is The Stand, followed closely by the Dark Tower series. _________________ www.allknittingnosleeping.blogspot.com

I have readnearly all of them, my favourites are the Dark Tower series, closely followed by the Stand, if i remember rightly there is a longer version of the Stand with extra chapters that i keep meaning to track down but keep forgetting
I also loved It but haven't read that since it came out
Have you tried any Dean Koontz Jo? Some of his books are very very good, others are just very good  _________________

I'm not Franney but I can recommend Strangers (my all-time fave DK), Lightning and the Odd Thomas series.  _________________ www.allknittingnosleeping.blogspot.com

Thank you Franney and Linda
Thank you so much for the kind offer Franney but I have just been on Amazon and bought all 3 recommendations for 1p each - bargain! Apart from the P&P of course, but I need cheering up after hubby's gearbox disaster today
