If You Like Stephen King

"No one writes 'just like' Stephen King. His books transcend genre writing and offer us compelling, page-turning stories. Any description or attempt to classify his writing diminishes him and his power over our imagination. Those who dismiss King as a 'genre' writer are missing one of the greatest storytellers of our time, who skillfully combines appealing heroes and terrible villains with fast-paced stories drawn from our innermost nightmares and set in evocative landscapes." (Courtesy of Novelist) Also try books by King's pseudonym, Richard Bachman.
