For beginners, 'All That You Love Will Be Carried Away' is quite accessible. It's about a traveling salesman and his thoughts and fears. It has that typical Stephen King touch of exploring the human psyche in a simple yet profound way. Another one could be 'Gramma', which is a spooky story about a boy left alone with his rather strange gramma. It's not overly complex but still has that King - like creepiness.

For beginners, 'Carrie' is a great start. It's short and straightforward, introducing you to King's style of horror that often has a human - centered and relatable aspect. Another good one is 'The Shining'. The story is well - known, and it's easy to get into the spooky world of the Overlook Hotel.

A good start would be 'The Boogeyman'. It's a classic King short story that plays on common childhood fears. It's easy to get into and will introduce you to King's style of horror writing.
