Line 57:
* ''[[Needful Things]]'' - [[The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday|A shop with bargains galore]], each at [[Deal with the Devil|a terrible price]]. Made into a movie which starred Max von Sydow.
* ''[[The Dark Tower/The Waste Lands|The Dark Tower]]'' - Third in the ''Dark Tower'' series. Roland's [[True Companions]] are completed, and travels through the decaying remains of [[After the End|a world that has moved on.]]
* ''[[Gerald's Game|Geralds Game]]'' - Bondage gone wrong...as in, "husband dies of heart attack while wife is still [[Chained to a Bed|handcuffed to the bed]]" wrong. You ''so'' wish someone had the stones to make this into a movie. First of the "abused wife" trilogy.
* ''Dolores Claiborne'' - "Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto." Made into a movie starring Kathy Bates ([[Rotten Tomatoes]] gives it 87%). Second of the "abused wife" trilogy (explicitly connected by a solar eclipse and weird empathy to ''Gerald's Game'').
* ''Nightmares and Dreamscapes'' - Anthology of short stories, some of which were adapted for cable TV in a miniseries of the same name.
Line 68:
* ''[[The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon]]'' - A little girl gets lost in the Appalachians... with no supplies... for weeks. Made into a pop-up book.
* ''[[Hearts in Atlantis]]'' - Vietnam-era story anthology. First story was made into a movie.
* ''[[Dreamcatcher (novel)|Dreamcatcher]]'' - Four old friends get stuck out in the forest on a hunting trip, right when the aliens land. Made into a movie.
* ''[[Black House]]'' - Sequel to ''[[The Talisman]]'', again co-written with Peter Straub.
* ''[[From a Buick 8]]'' - Rural Pennsylvania police keep a car - or some ''[[Cosmic Horror|thing]]'' shaped like one - secreted away from John Q Public. After finishing it, King was hit by a van [[Life Imitates Art|while the driver was throwing meat to his dogs]] and [[Author Existence Failure|nearly died]]. He worked the accident into the ''Dark Tower'' books that he had yet to write.
