It’s Halloween and that, to me, is the time of the horror novel.<\/p>\n
And of course, you can’t talk horror novels without some talk of one of the Masters.<\/p>\n
So: Stephen King.<\/p>\n
I asked this on FB a few weeks ago and it produced some interesting discussion, so I’m bringing it here to the blog because, well, YAY BLOG.<\/p>\n
I gotta know: what’s your favorite King novel?<\/p>\n
And, more importantly,\u00a0why<\/em>?<\/p>\n Bonus question: least favorite King novel (and also, why)?<\/p>\n If I had to pick my favorite — which is a tooth-pulling maneuver, because so many choices — I’d go with the entirety of the\u00a0Dark Tower<\/strong> series, with a preference toward Wizard and Glass<\/strong>. Least favorite — you know, I don’t know. I tried\u00a0Gerald’s Game<\/strong> and just couldn’t do it.\u00a0Cell<\/strong> had a cool idea but the execution didn’t come together for me. But if I had a gun to my head:\u00a0Dreamcatcher<\/strong>. (Doubly true of the movie, of which I am not a fan.) Still, some of King’s leastmost works are still better than so many, you know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s Halloween and that, to me, is the time of the horror novel.
