I am hoping to find a book or two for my husband. He just read three Stephen King novels (recently read Fairy Tails, The Stand & The Institute) however indicated that he’d like to read a novel from a different author.
I hope to surprise him but want to give him something he will enjoy.
Any ideas?

The Fireman by Joe Hill
He’s one of Stephen King’s sons. Writes a lot like his dad, to my mind.
Ghost Story by Peter Straub is fantastic. He’s written two books with King and has a similar style, I think I like him a little better though
`Peter Straub` is excellent IMO. However, just to throw this out there, the books that OP’s family member has read, barely even scratch the surface of Stephen King’s writing.
What about `The Dark Tower` series?
What about `The Talisman` and `Black House`? (These were written by King _and_ Straub).
What about `The Long Walk`?
What about `Cell`?
And there are many, many others.
That said, I think another author they might like is `Hugh Howie`. My favorite by him is `The Silo Series`.
Dean Koontz is pretty good.
