The Shining is a great novel and My favourite movie of all time. (Stanley’s version, the acting in the remake was awful, especially from Danny). The skeleton Crew and Full Dark No Stars are excellent short story collections!! Christine is class. Bring on The Shining 2: Dr Sleep!!

One of the things I love about art is — YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING?!?!?!?!?!?!? Christine? #8???

On the other hand, I love that you put Carrie so high. The book that started it all and I think is really underrated. As King’s gotten older and richer he’s strayed away from this novel’s compact simplicity and clarity. I think that’s why as much as I love him, I prefer his short stories.

Which is why I would put Night Shift and Nightmares and Dreamscapes in my Stephen King Top Ten. I Am the Doorway, Children of the Corn, One for the Road, Grey Matter (ugh), You Know They Got a Hell of a Band, and his H.P. Lovecraft homage Crouch End, are some of my favorite short stories, period.

Absolutely dead on about Different Seasons.

Also like seeing the Dead Zone referenced.

Other people have mentioned this: you can’t really make this list without The Shining. That has to be an oversight.

I have been a fan since the 70′s. Have every hardcover. The cell was true King.
Just finished Under the Dome really good.One book truly underrated is Insomnia .Besides the Stand, I think its one of his best.

This is funny, I have never read any of these books, but I love his work. Rose Madder, The Running Man, Eyes of the Dragon, and The Talisman are some of my favorite books of all time.

Well, considering the fact that you don’t even know the name of the series, your opinion of the ending lacks credibility.
