Reply to comment by bmtri in (Spoilers)Stephen King's Later is perhaps one of the worst books I have ever read in my life by PsychoBalloons

The Gunslinger might be a hard sell for someone who is not well versed in King. It is important for the DT series as a whole but it is notorious for being hard to read at least for new DT or King readers. The Stand is amazing and Salem's lot if just as good. My personal recommendation would be to start with a short story collection, with Night Shift being my pick.

Yes, Night Shift is one of the best short story collections I've ever read, in addition to Shock by Richard Matheson.

I have not read Shock, but if you hold it that highly I will definitely check it out.
