Such great works here. I've gotta go with The Gingerbread Girl. I was on the edge of my seat reading it, literally.

The Body

Everything's Eventual. I looovved that one.

Shawshank

Shawshank - although not voting for The Langoliers ain't easy, I loved that one too.

i loved loved loved langoliers,

Spoiler:

but the whole waiting for the world to catch up moment is full on king at its best

and i finally got to do a spoiler tag .. yeah

I also voted for Langoliers.

This was a hard one to but I had to go with the Langoliers.

Apt Pupil

everything's eventual.

I went with The Body, but on a different day I might have went with either Shawshank or Langoliers.

I would also vote for SWSG before I voted for any of the others listed.

Where is Secret Window, Secret Garden? I'm pretty sure I nominated it.

It got seconded but not thirded, sorry.

Oh man, that sucks. I still would have voted for The Body, but Secret Window, Secret Garden is still one of my favorite stories.

I voted for The Langoliers, despite the fact that I love Everything's Eventual, and would kill for more short stories tied in to The Dark Tower.

One of my friends-a recovering sci-fi devotee-was discussing the miniseries TV adaptation of this novella, and told me that it seemed like the stupidest idea to base a fictional story on. I replied that you shouldn't judge the merit of a Stephen King work by the excruciatingly bad film adaptations directed by Mick Garris.

He did like the miniseries based upon The Stand though.

I chose The Body. It was a great novella and it was made into one of the greatest movies of all time (Stand by Me) The Body is unforgettable!

After Shawshenk was released people forgot that for a long time "Stand by Me" and the original version of "The Shining" were the only even remotely decent Stephen King works translated to the big screen.

The poll has closed and the winner of our inaugural Best Novella/Novelette Award , receiving 10 votes (33.33%), is:

"The Body"

Wow this is the only one of these polls where my choice was the winner.

It is a great story. Not what I voted for, but a story I love muchly.
