----
* ''[[Carrie]]'' - [[Scrapbook Story]] about [[Butt Monkey|an abused girl]] with [[Psychic Powers]] who takes a terrible revenge after a [[Prank Date]] to the prom. King's wife stopped him from throwing the manuscript out and convinced him to finish it. Made into a movie by [[Brian De Palma]] that received two Academy Award nominations (for acting), which later received [[The Rage: Carrie 2|a sequel]] and a [[Made for TV Movie|made-for-TV]] [[The Remake|remake]]. It was also made into an infamously terrible musical that has become a byword for "flopped on Broadway".
* ''[[Salem's Lot]]'' - [[Our Vampires Are Different|Vampires]] in a small town in Maine, and the efforts of a few to get rid of them. Made into two TV miniseries. King's first visit to the Creepy Small Town, which he keeps coming back to, under a variety of names and states. Notable that his publisher advised him NOT to have this as his second book, lest he be pigeonholed as a horror novelist. Guess they got over it.
