More about Stephen King: [ Ссылка ]
You've heard of Stephen King's classic books like Carrie, Salem's Lot, Cujo, It and Pet Sematary but with a career spanning 40 years and counting it's easy to overlook some of his lesser-known works. We've picked 10 books written by the King of Horror that we consider to be under-rated.
1) Faithful: This non-fiction book started as an email exchange between two fans of the Boston Red Sox, Stephen King and co-author Stewart O'Nan, but turned into the next best thing to seats behind first base.
2) Rose Madder: A novel about the effects of domestic violence and one woman's attempted escape to a better life.
3) Bag of Bones: The story follows bestselling novelist Mike Nooan as he grieves the sudden loss of his wife, subsequent writer's block and the terrors that follow.

6) The Long Walk: Written when King was a college student, this book explores the cruelty of adolescence. The Long Walk is a march that lasts until only one is left standing; the losers receive bullets to the head.
7) Heart in Atlantis: Composed of five interconnected, sequential narratives set between 1960 and 1999 - each story is deeply rooted in the 1960s and haunted by the Vietnam War.
8) From a Buick 8: When the State Patrol Troop D comes into possession of a vintage automobile they had no idea of the looming danger.
