The problem is with the sampling method, which is why I suggested the poll we have here. Especially with such a large body of work, it's hard for anyone to pick a single favorite. Most King readers will put "The Stand" or "It" as their favorite. Obviously, a lot of people (like myself) voted for a second favorite, just to show some love on the list. Some people voted for stories fresh in their mind making "Under the Dome" and "11/22/63" skew a little high. And a lot of good stuff got overlooked. I think "Cycle of the Werewolf" should rank higher, but can understand why only 7 people picked it as their best. The best way to compile a truly accurate list would be to have weighted rankings, with full lists from every voter. Or a ranked top 10, or top 5-bottom 5. But that's some serious statistical analysis.

Agreed as well Siep

But hey, its not nearly enough votes to get a good ranking in my opinion. Id keep the poll up for a year at least and spam it everywhere to get as many people as I could to vote.
