I don't have an immediate answer for that. Stephen King's novels are diverse, and usually, there's some sort of survival or continuation. But I might be missing one that fits your description. You could try searching online or checking dedicated Stephen King fan forums for more info.
One possible story could be 'Misery', but I'm not completely sure. You might need to check King's extensive bibliography for a definite answer.
One of the most recurring characters is Randall Flagg. He appears in multiple novels, often as a malevolent force. For example, in 'The Stand', he represents chaos and evil, leading a group against the forces of good. Another is Pennywise the Dancing Clown from 'It'. This terrifying character haunts the town of Derry, preying on the fears of children. There's also Father Callahan, who first shows up in 'Salem's Lot' and then has a role in other works as well.
The story '1408' is part of Stephen King's collection of short stories called 'Everything's Eventual'.
Pangborn appears in 'Needful Things'.
In my opinion, at the top would be 'The Stand'. It's a massive epic that delves into themes of good vs evil on a grand scale. Then comes 'Pet Sematary'. The concept of the burial ground that brings things back wrong is just so disturbing. 'Carrie' is also a classic. It was one of his first and really introduced the world to his unique brand of horror.
Definitely 'Misery'. It's a psychological thriller about a writer who is held captive by his so - called 'number one fan'. The tension in this story is palpable from start to finish.
In my opinion, 'It' has complex characters. The Losers' Club members all have different personalities and traumas that they bring to their fight against Pennywise. Each character evolves over time, from their childhood experiences to their adult lives when they have to face the same evil again. Their relationships with each other are also multi - faceted and add to the complexity.
One such story is 'Hamlet'. In it, Prince Hamlet kills his uncle Claudius, who had murdered Hamlet's father, the king.
I think 'The Shining' is extremely scary. A family isolated in a haunted hotel, with the father slowly losing his sanity. The Overlook Hotel has a dark history and seems to have a will of its own. The apparitions, the sense of being trapped, and the psychological breakdown of Jack Torrance are all elements that make this novel a nightmare - inducer.
For me, 'It' is one of the scariest. The idea of an evil entity that can take different forms, often preying on children, is truly terrifying. Pennywise the Dancing Clown is an iconic and horrifying villain. The story's setting in a small town with a dark past and the way it plays on childhood fears like the fear of the unknown in the sewers and the loss of innocence makes it a very scary read.
