It annoys me how people focus so much on the horror in IT. I know that it’s scary as balls but its such a beautiful story and is really just a coming of age tale with horror elements. That ending still makes me cry

[Wiglpupi]

I love how whenever anyone talks about the Shining the focus on the "all work and no play" scene... which isn't even in the book. If your talking about the books at least show scenes that relate to the book

Honestly people can complain about the list but I don’t care. I just love Stephen King. Hearing people talk about him and his stories in any context gives me joy. His ability to transport readers into a story is truly special. P.S. I think IT is best but that’s just my opinion

[MosHighChadro]

"The Eyes of the Dragon" is underrated.
"Dr Sleep" is dope too.
"The Stand", "The Shining" and "The Dark Tower" are probably overall the best.. I guess.
Stephen King is just a beast. I love reading his books and watching the movies.

11/22/63 is a modern masterpiece, King finally returned to his glorious past

Stan lee recently died but when Stephen King dies the world is gonna turn upside down

[girlinterrupted]

PLEASE do a list of King's most underrated works! _Needful Things_ is by far my favorite King piece and it NEVER gets any love.

[KortKramer]

Can we all just agree that almost every Stephen King book and novella is worth reading? 
He's one of the most gripping authors of our era, and not just for horror.

[WarpCOm]

I’ve been reading his books for years and It always trips me out how many Iconic books/movies he is responsible for. Has anyone else written so many legendary stories?

Definitely needs a separate list for Top 10 short stories and 5 novella. Top 10 Underrated Stephen King Novels. I need all these lists made. Really no mention of Christine?!

[williamt]

Dolores Claiborne is literally the most underrated book and film ever

[fkovacs]

Just me, but my absolute favorite is the Tommyknockers. Just because it doesn't translate well into a movie doesn't mean it's not a good book.

[vishanthfishy]

Bro The Stand is so amazing. The characters are so well written and unique in their own right. You really empathize with them from the moment you meet them. The prologue to this day is the most chilling and unnerving beginning to a novel. And I'm saying it right here Randall Flagg is Kings best character ever.

[XxsuperstudlyxX]

I love that Long Walk got an honorable mention. It's such a good book

[yeahokay]

I honestly think The Long Walk us my #1, halfway through it takes a huge turn where you know that no one has any dignity left, and yet the ending is so great. McVries and Scramm will forever be loved as some of my favorite King characters.

[Jayke]

Where's Christine?! Not even a mention?? It goes to show though what a success Stephen King became as majority of his works are adapted into movies or TV.

[Ammttai]

I know Talisman is a collaboration between King and Peter Straub, but it is one of my all-time favorites

[jimb.]

"The Dead Zone" was good, but I felt it needed....

70s everything was peak everything, not just King.

[sreeff]

Salem's Lot is still my favorite, but I'd say the best is the Stand, with It close behind!
