The Talisman. First King book I ever read, great story, not his usual horror fare. I was afraid of “It” when I was a kid, and reading The Talisman in grade school let me dip my toe into King’s universe without nightmares.

I started with The Dead Zone and that worked for me, but… come to think of it, I think I’ve mostly only read the ones that have been made into movies. Although I read them before seeing them. The short story collection, Night Shift, is excellent. A few of the stories did find their way into movies. I was watching Cat’s Eye recently for the first time and was like, wait, I know this!
