Stephen King but not a horror story

Hello SK fans!

I read 11/22/63 and absolutely loved it.The phrase, "Life Turns on a Dime," stuck in my head for months!
I love his writing BUT I am NOT a fan of horror stories. Are there any other books of his that are not horror stories that you would recommend?

Thank you!

His book, Different Seasons has 4 novellas, ie regular books by most authors. Two of the stories are not horror at all - Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, and The Body (the movie Stand By Me was based on). Both are great stories and I can't remember anything horror- like in them. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong - I may be not remembering something. The other two stories however are horror. Don't read them.

Thank you! I will take a look at them. k4k

The Eyes of the Dragon and The Dark Tower series are both unscary enough for me to read, and I like them both. I am a fraidy-cat myself, so that's what I'd recommend. Oh, and On Writing.

>4 reconditereader: Thank you!

The Dark Tower series is great, and while it might have a scary moments here or there, it is more fantasy than anything.

Something I haven't seen anyone mention are the crime novels King has written for Hard Case Crime. Those are Joyland and The Colorado Kid.

I think the Mr. Mercedes trilogy is more crime driven than horror, but there are a few horror scenes in it.

I would also recommend Dolores Claiborne.

Thank you, >6 Dr_Flanders: >7 Eastonorfolio: and >8 PaperbackPirate: ! I just reread 11/22/63, so I will check out the other ones. Also was inspired to read Time and Again by Jack Finney, since King said it was the best time travel story ever written.

I don't like horror myself, but I did find The Stand to be one of my absolute favorite books of all time! It is a bit post-apocalyptic, with a bunch of good vs evil thrown in.
