I loved The Stand and Carrie, I've read others but don't remember them! Nothing too long or heavy

His old short story collections are absolutely top-notch. "Skeleton Crew" and "Night Shift." "Different Seasons" is also quite good but doesn't have the rawness and variety that the shorter stuff has.

Hope you enjoy! Yeah, for me it is the best. It's pretty horror, as horror goes, just so you're aware.
