The lesser book that was made into a film ,you could say The Running Man (Arnie), or just book and that could be The body but some might know it better as Stand by Me. |

"What in your opinion is the lesser known Stephen King book?
I would say Rose Madder "
Without knowing much about Kings work, the dark tower series?
I came across it by fluke and it looks like more of a personal goal to do rather than to make money so I'd guess it wouldn't be well known. |

"Duma Key is also a very good one. Stephen King went off the boil for a bit replaced by Dean Koontz for me ... Some of koontz early work is amazing. "
I agree his books seem more interesting, king for me seems to go around the houses to get to a point, I thought IT was a long overdrawn read

"Although Koontz has been off the ball for a few years too, I suppose every book can't be a must read. My favourite Koontz books are The Bad Place and The Watchers "
I've read at least 10 Koontz books but alas my tinnitus won't allow me to read anymore but phantoms was great and the watchers? Was that about a creature?

I used to read loads of Stephen King but after googling his bibliography, I realised I'd missed loads of his work and also not read anything for ages. "Cell" is missed by lots of people but my favourite is probably a toss up between "The Stand" or The Talisman" |

Needful things, the tommyknockers, both good reads in my opinion.
He did go off the boil for a while, but has written some good ones lately. Revival, Mr Mercedes, finders keepers are all worth a go. |

"Much prefer the works of Brian lumley.
Heavily influenced by H.P.lovecraft
Loved the Necroscope and Vampire world series', really well written  "
Still waiting for the much talked about necroscope movie.
Daniel Radcliffe would make a very good Harry keogh, and when he changes bodies I think Tom Hiddleston could take over. |

I could see those two in the roles, although I always pictured Harry a little older than Radcliffe |

I'll be honest I didn't really "get" the gunslinger so never bothered with the rest  |

They are worth the effort, and you will start to see a very faint story arc that takes in aspects of a lot of his other works. |
