Hi there,
I’m just trying to understand how SK fans segment his work. I’d like to know which books fit into these categories I keep hearing about, and what you think makes each era so compelling. I’ve read Salem’s Lot, Cujo, and now Needful Things. I have Sun Dog, Duma Key, and IT up next. It seems people classify the eras as follows:
**Young Rising King**
**Cocaine King**
**Post-Cocaine King**
**Post-Accident King**
What are the main books that fit into these categories, and how do they differ thematically? Is Young Rising King-era books less developed since it’s his early work? Cocaine King-era, are these darker or more sinister? Don’t understand really how this works but I’ve noticed between Salem’s Lot and Cujo, that I thought Cujo was stronger, even though the plot was relatively simple. I’m now starting Needful Things, however Sun Dog sounds really to my liking, and I’m preparing my mind, body, and soul, for the encyclopaedic IT.
