KING'S BEST

THE LONG WALK: Every year I re-read this chilling novella, in which a hundred 18 year old boys vie for the ultimate prize - their lives. The turn of each page brings another gruelling step in this gruesome spectator sport of the future.

THE STAND: In this, King's best novel, a virus knocks out 90% of the earth's population. The Stand is the tale of the survivors and their choice between good and evil.

IT: Anyone out there afraid of clowns? Stephen King capitalizes on that childhood phobia in It. A group of grade school friends fight (and supposedly) beat an evil spirit one summer. They reunite decades later when the demon resurfaces in their hometown.

EYE OF THE DRAGON: A medieval tale with kings, princes and dragons and an extremely evil royal magician named Flagg.

THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON:
Released last summer, this is the story of a young girl who inadvertently finds herself lost in a dense forest for days, with only her radio, visions of her fave baseball player Tom Gordon and an evil spirit or two, to keep her company. This is an edge-of-your-seat nail biter.

THE GREEN MILE: A fascinating tale about guards and prisoners co-existing on death row in the 1930s. Stephen King released this story in six parts. What a treat this was in the summer of 1996, anticipating a new chapter every month in the series of books. And for once, I couldn't read the end of the story before I finished it!
