Stephen King Books Chronological Order



Volume 2 is not on the list for the same reason. I have them, but like you said, nothing (except the artwork) is original, so I don't see any reason for them to be included. Same with The Man in Black.


That’s the problem. Volume 1 is on the list.

I was wondering about that one, which is one I never purchased but now I know why.

Also, since the Stand is on the list twice, are we planning on reading The Stand again for the uncut version? Only reason I ask is I don't have a copy of the original but I do have the uncut version. If so, I'll wait for the group read on the uncut version. If not, I'll just read the uncut version on my own.

I don't think we should read both. I wish there were a version of the uncut with the reinserted portions highlighted and any changes marked in some way.

You know, since we read new books as they come out, we're actually reading out of chronological order. That's good, I suppose, for I don't really want to wait five years to read The Institute. (I just got it today.)

Is he doing another trilogy?


I'm intrigued, especially because it's 4 novellas. Something there for Holly lovers and haters, I'm sure.

I really like Holly. A lot! She is an unlovable character that King made me love. I do not picture her as the actress that plays her in the series. I have a very, very detailed picture of her in my mind, though.

I love Holly either as portrayed in the series (not at all who I imagined) and the character in the books. Either way, she's great. Looking forward to reading more about her.

I didn't realize If It Bleeds contained four stories, I just assumed it was another full length novel.


The list is shown at the top, which is in order as published.
Now that I look at that list, I see SIX SCARY STORIES. While King is associated with the book, as he selected and introduced the stories, none of the stories are his.

Then the thread title is wrong. These eBooks are not in chronological order. The books are in published order. Can someone fix the mistaken thread title and the first post that also gets it wrong?

While I see what you mean by "chronological," I just looked up the definition, and the OP isn't really wrong.
Regardless, I think idea of this thread is so that readers can see which books are next for our group reads.
That's all I have to say about that.

All the list needs is a simple correction. When we read chronological, it means in timeline order which is not always published order. So just change it to published order and it will be corrected.


Perhaps you can simply think of the list that way. The rest of the group is using it as a guide to our group reads, so it's ok with us.

I will say this the only thing not entirely correct in the list is six scary stories. they were edited by SK but he didn't write a single one. so if you're wanting to read his work you can skip that one. If on the other hand you take his recommendation feel free!
lastly not on the list but might be interesting to some Gwendy's magic feather. It's a sequel to Gwendy's button box but written solely by Richard Chizmar.

So fun! I hope you enjoy!
So fun! I hope you enjoy!

I'm sure I will. My wife is not into reading AT ALL! The discussions we have about what I'm reading are rather one-sided. I think a group read would be a nice change.


Why would you want to remove Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season?

Honestly I've barley glanced at the bottom of the list. It's a list I found I think on King's website and just copy and pasted it here. I'll keep non-fiction books on the list since King wrote them and we are here to read all King books. Like On Writing. But I'll glance through and pull off what is the non-King books. If I miss one when we get to it I'll for sure notice it then. Thanks!
EDIT: I only saw one book not by Stephen King and that was Six Scary Stories edited by Stephen King.
