I have a grandma who loves SK... BUT she has read most of his books. Does anyone know of any books of his that aren’t well known but are still very good?

The girl who loves Tom Gordon

Has she read his Cold Case Crime books? There are illustrated versions of The Colorado Kid and Joyland that most people don't have, but are definitely worth having in addition to the originals.

I've been looking for Rage for a long time...I don't know if it's good, but it's one of his that's harder to find....I think it's also a Bachman book

Rage is about school student hostage taking and shooting. Some teachers are randomly killed. King unpublished it when a shooter were found to have a copy of the book in his locker after a rampage. It's good but the shooter is portrayed as somewhat of a hero. Along the same lines, Blaze isn't vey good either. There are better choices. I second The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, and add Bag of Bones and Duma Key. And maybe Lissy's Story

Has she read his Cold Case..."


Both of these are terrific. Joyland is less of a puzzle.

Or you could pre-order Later for her!

I’m pretty sure she’s read his crime series’s

There's also Hearts in Suspension .
