I prefer his shorter books
"Salems Lot" and "Pet Semetary" were brilliant, both gave me nightmares.

"It" was too long winded with back stories that didnt add much. I read "The Stand" last year when the media were reporting that we were on the brink of a swine-flu epidemic that was going to kill everyone.

Oooh Pet Sematary is the creepiest I've read
put me off cats for a while! The Shining was excellent as well, obviously. I've never read his dark towers stuff though.
