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 😄

I don't know why these haven't been mentioned on here but his short story collections are perfect. Night Shift, Skeleton Crew, and Different Seasons. You cover so many great stories in bite-sized chunks.
