This movie terrified me, and as I got older I wanted to read the book. The book was pretty scary too, but so well told. The Green Mile is also my favorite, but 'It' is pretty special.

I've already got it on audio and I can't WAIT to read it. <br /><br />rippleeffects - You've listed three of my favorites and the only ones I read before last year! He's definitely out of my comfort zone, but he's an incredible story teller. <br /><br />Jeanne - Exactly! I think the creatures that become whatever you fear most are such a terrifying concept. <br /><br />O - It was so addictive! I kept finding excuses to listen longer.

I've only read this and Pet Sematary by King, and I really enjoyed them both. <br /><br />Been meaning to read Carrie - must get round to that soon!ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-89739316062487750832014-05-08T15:45:33.916-04:002014-05-08T15:45:33.916-04:00Maybe because I read this one when fairly young, I...Maybe because I read this one when fairly young, I think of It along the same lines as a boggart or what one finds in room 101 (from 1984).Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-78758766338787378102014-05-08T12:52:45.540-04:002014-05-08T12:52:45.540-04:00I admit I haven't read any SK's books exce...I admit I haven't read any SK's books except just one: <em>On Writing</em>. And it's not scary at all. But I wouldn't want to read any of his other ones. However, two movies based on his works I really like. One you've mentioned 'Stand By Me' from 'The Body'. The other is 'Shawshank Redemption' based on his short story 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-54163920362282916392014-05-08T12:44:15.540-04:002014-05-08T12:44:15.540-04:00That is what makes King such a master.

He KNOWS what scares us. But he does go on. I believe his editor gave up a long time ago. I apologize in advance if I have asked you this, but have you read 11/22/63?
