At the start he scared the crap out of me with The Shining, IT and The Last Stand.
I suffered the wait of the the The Dark Tower/Gunslinger series(anyone else note how the first one was a short storey and the last two or three were epics?)
I had the chance recently to read The Dome, which got me interested again, enough to then read Mr Mercedes, (out of order,, dammit)which then led to--
Dr Sleep.
What a great read! A true Good Vs Evil tale in the I GOTTA FINISH THIS!! way only Stephen King can.
