I loved “The Stand”
***********
I think “11.22.63” is his greatest. It is a fantastic love story.

I liked that one a lot also. And his “Mr Mercedes” series which were more detective fiction than anything, which elevated “Holly” as an unlikely heroine, just great storytelling.

I’ve always thought his horror novels depended on the suspension of belief about ONE thing. Like if you could believe a little girl could start fires, or that a superflu could set the stage for Armageddon, everything else flows pretty logically. Yes I know he’s an idiot leftist but that doesn’t mean he can’t write interesting books, and those that told interesting human stories are IMHO better than those that centered around horror and the supernatural.
