    Default Most Frightening Published Work--Nominations Closed

    This thread is for members to nominate titles (i.e. books, stories, etc.) for the Award for Most Frightening Published Work. In order for a title to be eligible for nomination it must simply be one of Stephen King's published works, including any of his novels, novellas, and short stories. Titles published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman are also eligible.

    To nominate a title for this category, simply post your choice in this thread. In order for a title to be placed onto the voting ballot for the Award the nominated title must be seconded and thirded, also in this thread. This is to ensure that we do not have an overly long list of contenders for the Award, and that--by virtue of the nomination process--each title listed on the ballot is guaranteed to have at least something of a following come voting time. Please note that you MUST clearly state in your post that you are seconding or thirding a nomination for it to count. Feel free to deliberate and discuss your choices in this thread.

    While you may second or third a nomination more than once, we ask that there be only one new nomination per member.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    Pet Semetary is a great choice!! Another one that I've always thought of as one of King's darker and more horrific (not to mention underrated)would be Gerald's Game, so...

    ...Gerald's Game.

    Pet Sematary, no doubt. It won this award the last time. Since it was already nominated and thirded, I want to nominate Survivor Type.

    I'll second Gerald's Game. It truly gave me the creepsies.
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    I third 1408.
    Finished The Dark Tower at 6:03AM on December 21, 2009.

    The man in black fled across the desert,
    and the gunslinger followed.

    It and Pet Sematary both creeped me out also. I was much younger when I first read them though so I figured it may have been age that played a factor in that.


    Duma Key creeped me out as a adult.
