    The first and only time King ever brought tears to my eyes (to put it mildly).

    I believe I read somewhere that King considers Lisey's Story his best ever.
    I almost agree with him - still got a soft spot for The Stand, though...

    Not to get too off topic, but what did you think of Duma Key?

      I liked it, but not half as much as BoB or LS.
      The first part was excellent -some of King's best writing ever.
      The second half....let's call it disappointing...

        PET SEMETARY gets my vote.

        DIFFERENT SEASONS would be a close second.

        DEAD ZONE would be a close third. I have the Easton Press edition, and it is nice, but still I'd love a signed limited edition.



        On the side topic: I enjoyed all three of those books (BAG OF BONES, LISEY'S STORY, and DUMA KEY).

          Interesting, I actually found I liked Duma Key more and more as it neared its conclusion. Some of the events towards the end were particularly moving for me. Awesome book.

            Duma Key = B+
            Bag of Bones = B
            Lisey's Story = C-

            As far as a S/L, I'd go with It. Not because it's my favorite of the non-S/L books (it's not), but b/c I think someone would do a really good job with it.

              A heavilly illustrated IT would be dang cool... I just re-read It (since I last read it in my early teens) and I had a nostalgia filled good time doing so too.

                my vote is for MISERY. for his shorter works its a masterpiece, i prefer King straight up, neat, by the shot. Am I the only one who prefers it when the "bad guy" is human instead of supernatural ? As great as the movie is, i was a tiny bit disipointed by the horrific hobbling scene, as i had always wanted to know what a "salt dome" would look like! ( yes i do slow down at accident sites why do you ask?)

                  I would be torn about who would be best for illustrating it. Alan Clark? Glenn Chadbourne?? Whoever it would be, an illustrated 2 volume (to make it more readable) edition of IT would be beyond fantastic!!!

                    I would love to see IT, Pet Sematary, Bag of Bones and Everything's Eventual!

                      One of my favorites is CUJO. This one scared me the most when I was growing up and it still gave me the willies 30 years later. It has it's flaws to be sure, but this bare-bones, unneutered, horrorshow is unparalleled in Kings universe. And after seeing the cover of "Picking the Bones", let Vincent Chong illustrate it.

                        I love working with Chong -- he's terrifically talented and his art brings a lot of depth to a project.

                            My choice has been revised from Different Seasons to The Mist. I could see that as a double, like Riding the Bullet.

                              A unique signed limited edition of Eyes of The Dragon would be my first choice. A King fairytale.....yes!

                                But - there is a S/L Eyes of the Dragon.
                                A gorgeous Philtrum Press edition.
                                I think it was even my first S/L.
