My first Stephen king book was IT, have been hooked even since!

[Eva]

The Shining!

I remember being about 12-13 years old and my dad had it on his nightstand. He wasn't a big fan of me reading it, so I took it when he wasn't home. It scared me a lot. When my dad finished it, I took it to my room and continue reading it under blanket with a light... I was terrified, but I could not stop reading it!

I have been reading King off and on ever since. I do need to be in a King-mood, but he usually gets my out of a readingslump :)

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :D

[Jonmch]

Carrie… because it was his only book in print at the time… being old is so grand 🙄

[Umiha]

My first was The Dead Zone! I was fifteen and borrowed it from my boyfriend at the time. I had never read anything like it before and was completely consumed by his style of writing.

[Robin]

I started the Bill Hodges trilogy and finished the third book yesterday. I liked them a lot! Any suggestions which book to read next!?

Umiha - I've only just read 'The Dead Zone' and am totally under its spell. I mean, wow... Had to write a review on G/R to start the process of getting it off my chest?!

The Outsider then If It Bleeds for (view spoiler)[more of a character who has become a favorite to many (hide spoiler)]. Maybe that's not a spoiler.

Thanks!

[Keli]

I may be dating myself here but my first Stephen King book was "Nightshift". I was hooked from then on.

[Alicia]

I'm not sure if I put this on here before but it was The Stand. I was 16. And I was home with a cold.
Yeah. I was terrified.

[Ellen]

The Shinning was actual my first SK book. I scored a pretty old edition at Goodwill and knew I had to make it my first King book!
It took me awhile to read it, if I'm being honest lol It was a lot to take in at first because I didn't know what to except. I didn't know anything about King's books. But I have to say, I really really enjoyed it!

Needful Things

[[deleted user]]

the first king book i started to read was haunting, but the first book i finished was salems lot

[Ian (RebelGeek)]

Needful Things was my 1st King audiobook (14 cassettes) when I was 17, but my 1st read (I think) was The Running Man (Bachman) in paperback from the library when I was 13. I really got into reading & listening to all of his books after reading the Dark Tower saga in 2010.

[Diana]

Salems Lot was the first King book I read.

What book is Haunting? Is there a different title?

[Summer]

Salems lot was mine

[Derrick]

I've commented here before but for all the new people coming in, my first King book was Cujo. I was maybe 10 or 11 years old at the time. Been a huge fan ever since!

[Mary]

The Green Mile.

[Beth]

Salem's Lot. For a while there I couldn't read it at night.

[Amanda]

My first SK book was "The Nightshift". I was 9yrs old and have been a Constant Reader ever since.

[Joan]

As I’ve previously mentioned, the first S. King book I read was “Carrie,” in 1976. I was a junior in high school and been reading his books since then.

[Kavya]

Misery; I was in love with it.

[Fifi]

[Lectura en Trance]

Carrie!

[Jordan]

The body. I love the movie so i had to ask my grammie to get it. It was great

[Monika]

Salem's Lot, back in high school. LOVED IT! have read it 5 or 6 times since then. next Carrie, then The Stand and was totally hooked.

[Alexander]

had heard of the guy before but did not know what the fuzz was about.

one day, a couple of years ago, i picked up "the outsider" by accident. solely cos i loved the hardback cover. the item was physically solid in my hands.

the first 100 pages or so might be some of the best i have read (ever?). brilliant set up. hooked me.

unfortunately not a big fan of supernatural stuff but didnt matter. kings magic had already worked its way to my heart.

kings writing n storytellin and character work is unrivaled. insanely good.

[[deleted user]]

My first King book was a toss-up between Carrie or Pet Semetary...can't remember which was my first book

[Emma]

Salems Lot was my first SK read

[Andi]

Carrie was my first when I was about 13

[Miranda]

IT was my first SK. I read it right after I graduated college.

[Alexander]

Wow! IT is a big Piece to take on initially. What was your impression? Love at first sight or did it grow on you? I am yet to read it. Waiting for My Swedish edition so i have a backup in case i dont understand some parts in the English version...

[Susan]
