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˜„

Europe, but I'm not ok with sex stuff yet, not for an 11 year old. Wouldn't go for too gruesome either.

    so from the top recommendations, Gunslinger contains a weird ghost sex scene, IT has a child ogry, The Stand has quite a bit of sex

    Thank you. I'm definitely not giving them IT cause of that weird orgy.

    you could just tell them to skip the chapter, it doesn't add to the story
