Also, you guys are missing the point, when you say King is a horror writer. He's not a horror writer. He writes stories that have horror elements, but read a book like It--that one is actually about the friendship that strengthens in The Losers upon finally defeating It.
I think you have theme and genre mixed up in your head. 'It' is of the horror story genre and the theme is friendship.
Always been an absolutely huge fan of King. IT is one of the greatest books i've read. I'd recommend Shirley Jackson's 'The Haunting of Hill House' it's not so much as scary, but definitely has a creepy, unsettling atmosphere throughout.
I find that true in what I like to read Leaka. If they do any of those things I can't read it very long.
