talisman, black house and hearts in atlantis for sure, they build up to the dark tower series.

talisman and black house are parts 1 and 2 respectively of their own little story arc that deal directly with later stuff. hearts in atlantis is several stories, most of which deal with the dark tower.

aside from the dark tower series talisman and black house are my favorite stephen king books. then again they are more fantasy/horror than straight up horror

I’m not a big King fan, but I loved the Dark Tower. I didn’t really enjoy any of his work until after I’d read them. To me, there was something compelling about Roland in a way that was Lovecraftian instead of feeling like Lovecraft Light.
