It's hard to say which is the most famous, but 'The Shining' is extremely well - known. It has been adapted into a movie that has also become a classic in the horror genre. The novel's exploration of isolation, family breakdown, and supernatural horror has made it very popular.
Some might also argue for 'Misery'. The story of a famous writer held captive by his 'number one fan' is both disturbing and captivating. It shows King's ability to create a tense and claustrophobic psychological thriller.
However, 'It' is also a strong contender. Its popularity has been boosted by the recent movie adaptations. The concept of a malevolent entity that can take different forms and the coming - of - age story of the kids who face it have made it a favorite among King's works.
Definitely 'Carrie'. A bullied high - school girl with telekinetic powers who finally snaps. The prom scene where she unleashes her wrath is iconic. The build - up of her being an outcast, constantly tormented, and then the explosive revenge she takes is both shocking and terrifying. It also shows how ordinary people can be pushed to the extreme and do extraordinary and terrifying things.
Well, many would say 'It'. The complex characters and terrifying plot make it a standout. But opinions can vary as Stephen King has written so many great novels.
Many would say that 'Carrie' is a must - read. It's a powerful story about bullying and the consequences of it. 'The Stand' is also highly praised. It's a long and detailed exploration of humanity in the face of a major catastrophe. 'Pet Sematary' is another favorite. The concept of the cursed burial ground is both creepy and fascinating.
'Misery' is quite messed up. The idea of an obsessed fan holding an author captive and torturing him is horrifying. Annie Wilkes is a character that you love to hate, and the power dynamic between her and Paul Sheldon is so wrong and disturbing.
