Can you recommend some of Stephen King's shortest novels?

Sure. 'The Body' is a great one. It's a poignant and somewhat nostalgic story about friendship and growing up. It has that classic Stephen King touch of exploring the darker sides of human nature within an otherwise relatable setting.

One of the shortest Stephen King stories is 'The Man in the Black Suit'. It's a chilling tale that showcases King's ability to create horror in a concise format.

Another short novel by Stephen King is 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption'. This story, set in a prison, has been highly regarded and was adapted into the well - known movie 'The Shawshank Redemption'. The story is concise yet powerfully tells the tale of hope and friendship within the prison walls.

Another one could be 'Elevation'. It's a shorter work that has elements of the strange and the supernatural, as is common in King's writing. It deals with a man who starts to experience a very odd physical phenomenon, and how it affects him and the people around him in a small town setting.

I would recommend 'The Body'. It's not too long and has a relatable theme of friendship and growing up. It gives you a taste of Stephen King's storytelling ability without being overwhelming in length or horror elements.

Among Stephen King's novels, 'Cycle of the Werewolf' is quite short. It's a unique take on the werewolf story. Also, 'Rage' is a shorter work, though it has some controversial themes. However, it shows King's early talent for delving into the minds of troubled characters and creating engaging, if somewhat disturbing, stories in a relatively small number of pages.

Sure. 'Carrie' is one of the shorter ones. It was his first published novel and is a great introduction to his style. It's about a high - school girl with telekinetic powers who is bullied and then takes revenge.

They often have a strong sense of place. For example, in 'The Body', the small town setting is almost like a character itself. It gives a sense of familiarity and at the same time, a bit of unease.

One of his short stories is 'The Man in the Black Suit'. It's a chilling tale that showcases King's ability to create a sense of dread in a relatively short space. It has elements of the supernatural and a young boy's encounter with a menacing figure.
