Book Suggestions

Stephen King suggestion?

October 2, 2025

I try to read a Stephen King book every October so as to scare myself in honor of the season. Which should I choose this year?

For reference, I’ve already read Misery, The Shining, Elevation, Carrie, and The Mist.

Thank you for any recommendations advance!

I’m going to sound like a broken record with this one, but Doctor Sleep in the fall is 🤌🤌🤌

I liked the outsiders personally little cryptic horror and some detective work! Wish it had had more horror elements though!

If you want scary I definitely recommend ‘Salem’s Lot or Pet Sematary.

My wildcard favorite that will scare you is Revival.

I believe that King is his best in short stories. Highly recommend Skeleton Crew or Night Shift
