I read a ton of Stephen King as a kid and I think my kid will be into it, but I’m not sure which book would be a good entry point. He has so many different types of story from weird to horror to mind bending. What would you use as a good entry for his horror? For an 11 year old.
Update… Thank you so much everyone! This thread is making me want to reread the books myself too 😄
Don’t try to force it, just mention you enjoyed reading his books as a kid.
Yeah with this kid, all I need to do is leave a book lying around. But they’ve specifically been asking for horror and are enjoying murder mysteries so far.
For a good murder mystery without the horror try The Colorado Kid. Then watch the show Haven that is loosely based on it.
Emphasis on “loosely.”
Yep, Haven is supernatural while the book is not. It’s more about using the mystery of the book to create a whole different (but really intriguing and King-like) world. They are both good in their own way.
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
