Stephen King

I don’t read much of his books but they are popular and he constantly tops the bestseller lists , meaning he must be doing something right.

For his fans, I have quite a huge collection of his books but have no idea which one to post. If you want any of his titles, mention it in the comment section and I will post it for you.

The Shining

Cell

'Civilization slipped into its second dark age on an unsurprising track of blood but with a speed that could not have been foreseen by even the most pessimistic futurist.

The virus was carried by every cell phone operating within the entire world. Within hours, those receiving calls would be infected. A young artist Clayton Riddell realizes what is happening.

Needful Things

Lisey’s Story
