I read: The Shining, Carrie, The Stand, and Pet Cemetary. All pretty good. His short stories, and the Bachman books finishe my S King phase. But, he wrote The Green Mile & Shawshank Redemption. Both good movies.
While The Stand was good overall, it was his longest and most tedious book to date at the time. His writing got too long-winded for many. Concur that The Green Mile and Shawshank were good movies, but there's no way I'd entertain reading them.
Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption was one of his better books and is worth reading. The earlier Gunslinger books too, before he went off the leftist deep end with the race mixing and other garbage. He was on board the woke train as it was leaving the station.

Those were when he lost me. Think I read the first, said wtf, cracked the next and sold our Stephen King library at our garage sale.
Adios.
I just watched Green Mile last night in my current 90s movie binge. Any suggestions
Got a really weird 80s one that is pretty cool - especially if you're stoned. Interested?
Shawshank was not a long read
He wore me out - done.
I think those were all written while he was coked outta his gord, except for The Green Mile
