Enjoy The Shining! I think the book is better than the movie. He is one of my favorite writers, and has some very good writing classes too. I did stay at the hotel in Estes Park- didn’t sleep much that night! 😱
I love this list! I just finished The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (loved) and am reading Spells for Forgetting now (the vibes are PEAK fall so far). I haven’t read anything by Stephen King either, which is kind of wild—need to add something of his to my list as well!
Ah I’m so excited to read Spells for Forgetting! I’ve been patiently waiting for my library hold on the Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches but I might just have to buy a copy so I can read it soon. Happy spooky October reading!
The Shining is the King book that made me realize why he's famous. I mean, of course I knew about Stephen King, but was mostly familiar because of the books that were made into movies. When I discovered his writing, I became hooked. He's truly a master. The Green Mile and 11/22/63 are nice follow up reads for a less spooky vibe.
Ah you made me even more excited to dive in! Thank you for the next reads recommendation, always love having another to look forward when you are loving a book.
Thanks for adding to my TBR pile!
I always read King's latest in October (he's just published a book of short stories) and I also have several seasonal Halloween cozies to read:
*Fatal Fudge Swirl / Meri Allen
*Blame the Beignets / Ginger Bolton
*Death of a Wicked Witch / Lee Hollis
*Root of All Evil / Ellery Adams
*French Quarter Fright Night / Ellen Byron
*Trick or Treat Murder / Leslie Meier
Also - Horror Movie / Paul Tremblay
Happy spooky season!
Ooh a cozy mystery is such a delight! And Horror Movie looks very creepy! Thanks for sharing all of your recs - I love an annual reread!

I can’t believe I’ve never read any Stephen King before. I’m excited! And that does sound like a very eerie way to spend an evening 😱
