Fast-forward 30 years. After reading On Writing, I decided to read King's short stories. I read every collection. Since 2014, I've read:
- Carrie
- The Shining
- Firestarter
- Cujo
- The Running Man
- The Gunslinger
- The Drawing of the Three
- Misery
- The Waste Lands
- Wizard and Glass
- Wolves of the Calla
- Song of Susanna
- The Dark Tower
- 11/22/63
- Doctor Sleep
- Mr. Mercedes
- Finders Keepers
- On Writing (nonfiction)
- The Night Shift (short story collection)
- Different Seasons (novella collection)
- Skeleton Crew (short story collection)
- Four Past Midnight (novella collection)
- Nightmares & Dreamscapes (short story collection)
- Hearts in Atlantis (novella collection)
- Everything's Eventual (short story collection)
- Just After Sunset (short story collection)
- Full Dark, No Stars (novella collection)
- Bazaar of Bad Dreams (short story collection)
My favorites are the novella collections, the short story collections, The Shining, 11/22/63, and Finders Keepers. While I wouldn't count King among my eight or 10 favorite prose writers, his books are easy to find at the library and overdrive, and I've even bought a few.
