1408 is his best short story out of the ones that I've read so far.

Back when I read King, I always preferred his short stories to his novels. He has a way of making them drag on. And on. And on. And on...
My favorites were "The Ride" and (the short novel) "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon." Also enjoyed the one about the solstice but I forget the name of that one. |

I'm all about Carrie. Like most of his novels, he kind of flubs the ending, but it's short enough that it's still quality for the most part.
