On the table for this discussion about where to start with Stephen King's work are short stories like The Mist, 1408, and Here There Be Tigers and some of his bigger novels. Which made the cut, though? 11/22/63? Eyes of the Dragon? The Dark Tower series? It? You'll just have to listen to find out.
One of the most common questions we receive here at The Kingcast is where to start. It's not an easy question to answer, especially given the mountain of work the author has put out and continues to add on to year by year.
