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.

Spoiler:

I would also vote for SWSG before I voted for any of the others listed. 04-02-2009 05:12 PMHeather19Where is Secret Window, Secret Garden? I'm pretty sure I nominated it. 04-02-2009 05:43 PMmae 04-03-2009 01:57 PMHeather19Oh man, that sucks. I still would have voted for The Body, but Secret Window, Secret Garden is still one of my favorite stories. 04-03-2009 04:59 PMRuthfulI 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. 04-03-2009 06:52 PMpixiedark76I 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! 04-03-2009 08:01 PMRuthfulAfter 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. 04-06-2009 02:57 PMmaeThe poll has closed and the winner of our inaugural Best Novella/Novelette Award , receiving 10 votes (33.33%), is:
