Second The Stand and Thinner.
I second Regulators.
And though it doesn't seem to be a highly regarded one, I nominate Gerald's Game. That book made my skin crawl, especially:

The Boogeyman from Night Shift.Originally Posted by Aaron
I read that back when I was much younger and it still unnerves me to this day to leave closet doors open at night.
I am a 35 year old man . LOL...
Life is a garden...dig it!
I'll second Gerald's Game.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.

When you get a chance, make sure you go in and vote for best Melike

I've just deleted my post, because I've just get the point of the system(I hope).When you get a chance, make sure you go in and vote for best Melike
Sorry. And thank you.
I second that. (Because of Jerusalem's Lot)
Third this.I nominate 1408 from Everything's Eventual. Most effectively written short story I've ever read.
And I will nominate The Dark Half.
I'm very, very tempted to nominate 'N' here - but I'll hold fire for now as I'm still reading it.
I will confess that going upstairs last night in the dark, having just put the book down, was bloody hair-raising!
I'm going to third Desperation--that, so far, is the creepiest King book I've read....
If people haven't seen what I posted a while ago in here, I nominate Night shift.
Did anyone second Night Shift? I am, then.
I will shortly make a list of nominated/seconded etc works; only what is N.?
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)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finished reading it last night, and I most heartily Second 'N'.
Just sitting here in the office in broad daylight and thinking about that field gives me the shivers!
'N' is one of the short stories in 'Just After Sunset', Jean.
Thank you! Alas, there's no chance I'll read it in the visible future.

Jean if you're curious about it, they did release an animated version over the summer. There's a link to it somewhere in The Oracle. I'm not positive if it works outside the US, but give it a shot.

Jean, as far as I know, Amazon ships books internationally, so you should be able to order yourself a copy with no problem. Go get it, it's a great book.Thank you! Alas, there's no chance I'll read it in the visible future.
No, unfortunately to Russia it doesn't.Jean, as far as I know, Amazon ships books internationally, so you should be able to order yourself a copy with no problem. Go get it, it's a great book.Thank you! Alas, there's no chance I'll read it in the visible future.

Are you sure about that? I beg to differ. Books, DVDs, and CDs they ship all over the place. There are restrictions on video games and other stuff.No, unfortunately to Russia it doesn't.Jean, as far as I know, Amazon ships books internationally, so you should be able to order yourself a copy with no problem.

Russia is on the list of the European countries to which Amazon ships, so place your order today!Amazon.com gladly accepts orders from all around the globe. Available product lines, shipping rates and fees may vary depending on the delivery address for your order.
We are currently able to ship books, CDs, DVDs, VHS videos, music cassettes, and vinyl records to European addresses.
thank you pablo! Not to lead this thread off topic any more: they don't give us "standard rates", only some "Priority rates" - a shipment, even if it did arrive (in most cases it just doesn't - as other people's experience has shown) would cost from 1/4 to 1/2 of my monthly salary, and I really can't pay it for a book; even if I could, I don't have the means of payment - no bank account, credit card, or any way to add anything to my paypal account, which currently contains $ 4 - all that, in short, amounts to Amazon being unavailable. So, I will have to wait till I can get it in a bookstore; I think I'll start saving right now, maybe will get myself this present for my next birthday! Thank you really, really much for your concern anyway!

Not at all, you're quite welcome. I was just trying to help a fellow Kingophile. So, they sell American books in Russian book stores? That's pretty cool!So, I will have to wait till I can get it in a bookstore; I think I'll start saving right now, maybe will get myself this present for my next birthday!
