Finished The Dead Zone today. While overall a good read I didn't like how it was formatted. Needed more of Greg Stillson. Middle was kinda a slog and seemed like filler for a different book.

I have 3 unread King books to choose from as my next read. Firestarter, Needful Things and Skelton Crew. Any suggestions?

I love both Firestarter and Skeleton Crew. Haven't read Needful Things though.

I'd probably recommend Skeleton Crew because of the stories The Mist and The Raft (seen in Creepshow 2, baby)

Shame I missed this. Needful Things is among one of my favorite King books. I read it every year and a half or so. :P

It's also one of the only stories in Skeleton Crew I've never read. :P I should probably get on that.

Cain Rose Up is the most disturbing short story of King's for me.

I finished Carrion Comfort yesterday and it is amongst the greatest books I've read (heard). It's both disturbing and terrifying. It also has several of the most evil characters ever created. Highly, highly recommend.

I'm finishing up the story Gramma leaving only 2 more until I finish Skeleton Crew. I think it's just as good as Night Shift maybe even better.
