God of horror? No, I think not. I can think of a dozen authors who outclass King right off the top of my head.

But, in keeping with the spirit of the thread, my fave King book is It.

Edgar Allan Poe- The God of Horror

Stephen King- Runner up.

I do love Mr. King. His best book is The Shining. I also quite enjoyed Dreamcatcher.

Stephen King is not what i'd call my favorite author (that title would go to Clive Barker or H.P.Lovecraft.)altho he is right up there for damn sure,..and from a marketing aspect,he is practically a God of horror ,hands down,but there are so many other authors whose style is is creepier and sometimes even more imaginitive.,this is the case with 2 more authors i am reading more and more of,Robert R. McCammon and Bently Little.

As for my favorite King book ,i like his short stories best,and my favorite of those is "Skeleton Crew" and my favorite story from that is "The Mist" (DAMN WHEN THEY GONNA FINALLY MAKE A MOVIE OF THIS?.LOL:p ) as for full lengh novels "Desperation" (which by the way is on TV tonite(got me sorta occupied even as i type..lol).i liked pretty good as well as The Regulators (maybe they shoulda had a companion movie as the did with the novels?..just a thought..lol:rolleyes: . anyway my very favorite King novel would have to be "The Stand"!

My favorite King book is The Stand for it's sheer scope, but the story that scared me the most is Pet Sematary....the whole thing about the wendigo and the dead kid....makes me shudder...
