I read a ton of Stephen King as a kid and I think my kid will be into it, but I'm not sure which book would be a good entry point. He has so many different types of story from weird to horror to mind bending. What would you use as a good entry for his horror? For an 11 year old.

Update... Thank you so much everyone! This thread is making me want to reread the books myself too ๐Ÿ˜„

I read Different Seasons right about that age and it remains one of my favorites to this day. A collection of novella-length stories might be an easier introduction than some of the 900 page doorstops he's written. I mean, you definitely don't want to give him The Tommyknockers as his first one.
