What are some other Stephen King novels like 'It'?

One book similar to Stephen King novels is 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King himself. It has that same sense of horror and unease, dealing with dark themes like death and the supernatural. Another is 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson. It creates a spooky atmosphere much like King's works. Also, 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis has a disturbing and intense narrative that can be compared to King's darker stories.

'The Body' is a great one. It's a coming - of - age story with a dark undertone, as is common in King's works. It shows the journey of a group of boys and how they encounter a dead body. The way King writes about their emotions and the experiences along the way is very engaging.

One common element is the sense of small - town horror. For example, in 'Salem's Lot', the small town setting becomes a breeding ground for vampires, much like how King often uses small - town America as a backdrop for dark and menacing events. Another is the exploration of the human psyche under extreme stress. In 'The Shining', the main character's mental breakdown is a key part of the story, and this is also seen in other novels where characters face extraordinary and terrifying situations.

It's a great novel. It has a really engaging plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The characters are well - developed, and King's signature style of mixing the ordinary with the supernatural is on full display.

One underrated Stephen King novel is 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon'. It's a story about a young girl who gets lost in the woods and imagines that baseball player Tom Gordon is with her to keep her company. It has a unique blend of psychological horror and a sense of adventure. The way King describes the girl's isolation and her struggle to survive in the woods is really engaging.

Sure. There are Russian novels that share some similarities with Stephen King's works. Take Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita'. It has elements of the supernatural and a complex narrative structure that can be somewhat reminiscent of King's more elaborate story - telling. The way it weaves together different storylines and has a touch of the otherworldly is comparable to how King often juggles multiple plotlines and supernatural elements in his novels.

Mystery. Stephen King often weaves mystery elements into his stories. The reader has to piece together clues to figure out what's really going on, just like in some of his detective - like stories where the truth is hidden beneath layers of strange events.

In some YA horror - inspired novels, there are references to the idea of a group of kids facing a great evil, which is reminiscent of 'It'. The way the kids in 'It' band together to fight the clown is a powerful trope. Some novels might not directly mention 'It' but use a similar structure of a group of misfits coming together against a seemingly unstoppable horror. This shows the influence of Stephen King's 'It' on the genre.

No, it wasn't. I haven't come across any novel by Stephen King with that title.

I'm not sure which 'the other half' you are referring to. There are many works by Stephen King, but without more context, it's hard to say if it was one of his novels.
