When I was a teen, my favorite Stephen King book was The Dark Half because well, I'm older, and there weren't that many to pick from, but I loved the idea of a twin living inside you. Cujo was great too!

When I was a teen, my favorite Stephen King book was The Stand because it was EPIC (and still remains one of my top ten books I have ever read). I have actually not had any Stephen King book requests in a long time. Weird.

Maybe I grew up later when there were good YA books on the market, but I never read Stephen King when I was a teen. Or maybe I just didn't like that kind of book.
My favorite Stephen King book is The Talisman which was co-written with Peter Straub. I have always wanted to re-read it and I will because they're releasing a new version later this month! 🙂
