Stephen King’s Books

I absolutely love Stephen King Books, so I decided to make this huge list in chronological order, mainly to keep tabs of the book reviews I need to (still) write and also the books I haven’t read yet. Marked with a small star are my absolute favourites

While he is generally known for writing horror, King’s books are actually much broader. Fans can use this list to see what books they may have missed. If you’re new to King, you can see what he’s written, and then check out recommendations of his best book.
