Stephen King’s immense body of work can be daunting, overwhelming even, especially to new fans. My hope is that this list, offering a ranking and overview of his best 25 novels, can provide an easily digestible menu potential King readers can cross-reference with their own interests, thereby providing insights into where they might want to start or what they might want to read next.
This edition of this chapbook was published in July 2015 and does not include any of King’s works published after that time, though occasional updates are planned.
David Bain has been reading and studying Stephen King for more than 30 years. Bain is the author of the Will Castleton paranormal investigator series, the Riders of the Weird West series, the Green River crime and horror series, the Write Thoughts series of books on writing, and many more novels and story collections. An award-winning journalist, he is also a speaker and writing teacher, having taught writing to literally thousands of students over more than 25 years.
