One of the most popular is 'Salem's Lot'. It's a classic that really delved into the idea of a small town overrun by vampires. It was terrifying in its portrayal of how vampires could infiltrate a community. Another is ' 'Cycle of the Werewolf', which also has vampire - like elements and has been well - received for its unique take on horror in a small - town setting.
Definitely 'Dreamcatcher'. It combines King's signature horror with an alien - inspired plot. The story is set in a Maine winter, and the characters encounter these strange, otherworldly beings that seem to have a connection to a much larger and more mysterious force.

I think 'The Shining' is one of his top novels. The way it builds tension in the haunted hotel is just amazing. Also, 'It' is great. The idea of the evil that resurfaces every few decades and the bond between the kids fighting it is really engaging. And 'Misery' is a top work too, with its intense psychological horror.
Definitely 'Insomnia'. It has a very unique premise and explores some deep themes. Along with it, 'The Green Mile' is a masterpiece. The story of the inmates on death row and the mysterious John Coffey is both heart - breaking and thought - provoking.
