For me it's the Patrick Hockstetter chapter in It. I've even skipped it on some rereads.
When has King's writing disturbed you the most? *spoilers for various books*

I can't remember specifics, but when the salesman kicked the dog to death and when the handcuffs were finally 'slipped' off in Gerald's Game. Both disturbed me.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
i would have to say the scene in needful things where the 2 woman go at each other with knives. The spilling of innards and visceral blood spraying was pretty intense the first time i read it.
Should we maybe mark spoilers or put it in the thread title? I think it's safe to say that many members, including myself, haven't read all of SK's books yet.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Pet Sematary, pretty much the whole book.
Sloth Love Chunk
Anytime that he writes about old people in rest homes, etc. The future can be scary..

For me, it's Gerald's Game:

That was pretty scary, but I gotta go with "Gerald's Game". First time I asked myself how Tabby could lay down next to a guy thinking these thoughts!!!! LOL

As a parent, it's usually the death of a child that bothers me. The 3 biggest ones are Cujo, Pet Semetary and The Stand.
Slight spoilers for those 3 books.
Spoiler:
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
this is something I don't want to remember at all. I have just reread Pet Sematary, and I read that part as if for the first time - I had forgotten it. Now I read it in your post, and I realized that I had forgotten it again. I am not a parent, but that was too much to take for me nevertheless. Now I hope I will forget it again.

That bit in Desperation where
Spoiler:
Yes, I felt sick to my stomach after reading that. Definitely his most disturbing piece for me.
Also most of Apt Pupil. It's scary that there's people out there that have no sense of right or wrong, or even care if they hurt someone.
Yes! Not disturbing for me, but definitely the scariest moment! Still freaks me out.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
"The Man in the Black Suit" was one that kept be looking behind me, love that story.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
The "Werewolf" scene in "IT" hit a chord for me!!!

I was not surprised when Geralds Game was mentioned here fairly quickly. While hanging out in Barnes and Noble a bit I wandered about the bargain tables and came across a couple of King audio books I did not have. One of them I puchased was Geralds Game. I was spending a bit of time traveling so popped it into the car cd player and realized I did not recall reading it... The more I listened, the more I realized perhaps I had not read it before and it also had me wondering about what others (including Tabby) thought of the mindset to create this tale. Typically, I soon found myself amazed about how well King always developes charactors.... even ones not there.
I first read the Langoliers as a freshman in college. I was living in a dorm close to the sports area, so there were a lot of athletes in the building, generally making lots of noise. However, on the night that I was reading this, there was absolutely no sound going on. I ended up having to get dressed and go down to the lobby of the building to make sure there were still people around.
For me its the end of The Jaunt.
Spoiler:
oh no
it's one of the things I don't want to remember
