Colorado Kid was released mid 2005 as part of a paperback Hard Case Crime's 2nd year series ... King was one the writers involved.
Link http://www.stephenking.com/colorado_kid_press_release/ Found a copy at a local bookshop and bought it for a lark coz it was cheap (its pretty thin, <200pgs) and a pretty quick read. Its in a similar vein as Buick 8, as it involves a bizzare mystery, but to say anything more would be to spoil it. But i gotta warn u tho, u'll either love it / hate it. There's no middle ground here ... even King says so at the end of it. The Cell is only out on hardcover here, no paperback yet. And Lisey's Story is only out in October.

Desperation / Regulators still is one of my favorite King combos. I like his darker, more twisted tales. Loved The Dark Half, Pet Semetary, Shining, TommyKnockers, The Stand & It and of course the other Bachman books.
However, his short story collections are also top-notch in my books

King's best work, by far is ON WRITING
it is a memoir, but only of his writing life. Fascinating and inciteflu. The way he recounts his accident with the drunk driver is a harrowing, heart-felt and funny as snything he's ever written. an absolute MUST for any aspiring (or working) writer:D

Havent read "on writing" yet, but i did read King's earlier insight .. Dance Macarbe. Was actually quite engrossing seeing his point of view regarding books and movies on horror.
Also his take on the origins of most horror genres & themes seeding from the mindset of civilization during a particular era .. ie. the depression, the hippie-daze, technology & the cold war. Not only a good read of the man behind the story but a also a good read in general. Funny at times too.

You raise the knife above my chest,Wispering words to my heart of theft.Welcome to the my world,The blade of that knife is the last thing my heart held.

My vote is for 'It', I've read it every year since I was fourteen. There are so many layers to this story, and the perspective of all of the 'losers' as children and adults is great. I particularly love the inserts from Mike's diary, where he discusses the history of Derry. Some of the stories he tells are the creepiest I've heard.
I agree that 'The Long Walk' is one of his best short stories. I find his 'Night Shift' collection to be the scariest of the short story sets i.e. Graveyard Shift, The Boogeyman, Sometimes They Come Back, Children of the Corn etc. My favourite of his short stories was 'The Ledge'. Not a horror really, but it's interesting to be inside this mans head for the few minutes he is outside walking the ledge.
