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

I forget the name of it, but he wrote one about a guy who adopts an intelligent Golden Retriever who escaped from a scientific research center, and they're stalked by an intelligent, evil monkey who escaped from the same place. I liked it a lot.

Watchers I believe. They made a couple movies based off the book as well. They were not great, but the first one was still fun and campy if I'm remembering it well enough.

Watchers is the one, you are correct. Great book.
