Still being somewhat new to the genre, I haven't read a lot of horror novels, per se, but in the last year or so, I've worked through a decent mix of contemporary and classic horror.
The only King novel I've read so far is 'Salem's Lot, which I liked well enough, but it didn't stick to my ribs as much as, for instance, the book I'm reading now, which is Peter Straub's Ghost Story.
That said, I've seen plenty of interviews with Stephen King, and I like him quite a bit as a person, and I do look forward to the next novel of his I'll read (probably Carrie).
Somehow, he manages to be an author who is praised beyond his abilities by some, while others dismiss him unfairly.

Good choice there. Ghost Story is far superior to anything King has ever written.
