Sure. 'The Green Mile' is a great start. It has a gentle, almost magical feel to it in parts, and the characters are very well - drawn. It's not a blood - curdling horror but has a touch of the supernatural. Another good one is 'The Body'. It's easy to follow and more about friendship and growing up, with just a hint of the darker side. 'Carrie' is also not too intense for beginners. It gives you a taste of King's ability to create complex characters in a somewhat less horrifying context.

Yes. 'The Talisman' could be a good choice for beginners. It's a big adventure with some spooky bits but not so scary that it'll put you off. 'On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft' is also suitable as it's not a horror novel at all but gives you an insight into King's mind. And '11/22/63' is not as horror - based as his normal works. It's a time - travel mystery with a lot of interesting twists and turns that new readers might enjoy.

For beginners, I'd recommend 'The Eyes of the Dragon'. It's a departure from his typical horror style and is more of a fairy - tale - like fantasy with some adventure. 'Hearts in Atlantis' is also a good option. It has a lot of heart and different story arcs that are engaging without being overly scary. And 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon' can be a good starting point. It has a simple premise of a girl lost in the woods and the tension that comes with it, but it's not as hardcore as some of his other works.

Inside the luxurious mansion, Pei Qiqi angrily threw a stack of newspaper onto the man, “The article is claiming that I am a hen who cannot lay eggs! But Tang Yu, it’s you who has issues!” The man put down the newspaper and agreed to what his young wife was saying, “Why would they write false information? Your zodiac is the pig!” “Tang! Yu!” She stomped her feet out of anger. The man grinned, “So what we have no kids? You are my little baby.” Pei Qiqi thought, how did this scene change so fast!

One less scary Stephen King novel is 'The Green Mile'. It has elements of the supernatural but is also a story full of humanity, friendship, and hope. Another is 'The Body', which was later made into the movie 'Stand by Me'. It's more of a coming - of - age story with some dark undertones but not overly terrifying. Also, 'Carrie' is relatively less scary compared to some of his other works. It tells the story of a bullied girl with telekinetic powers in a way that is more about her emotional journey rather than pure horror.

I'd recommend 'Ring' for new readers of Stephen Baxter. The story is set in a very interesting and somewhat isolated setting of a space structure, which makes it engaging without being overly complex. Also, 'Proxima' could be a good choice. It has a classic science - fiction theme of interstellar travel and the story is told in a way that's accessible to those new to Baxter's works.

Sure. 'The Body' is a great start. It was adapted into the movie 'Stand by Me'. It has a coming - of - age feel along with King's signature touch of the darker side of human nature. Another good one is 'Graveyard Shift'. It's set in a mill and has some really creepy rat - related horror. And 'Quitters, Inc.' is also interesting as it has a unique and somewhat dark take on helping people quit smoking.
