Where is the proper 'It' cover? That used to scare the bejesus out of me.

You're suggesting that The Stand is based on LOTR?

Maybe in length, but nothing else.

Theme, characters, scenes. One is a cookie cutter for the other.

1. The Shining (my first "horror" novel, scared the crap out of me)
2. The Talisman
3. The Stand
4. The Green Mile*
5. Salems Lot


*read these as a series of (6?) mini novels, the kicker being that King was still writing the books as you read them.

Haven't read a king novel in years

you'll love it, I guarantee it. Brilliant book, King at his finest. The whold JFK premise is pretty incredible
