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 😄

Is the Institute book better than the series? Because that ending to season 1 was ass

I really enjoyed the book. I didn't know there was a TV series at all, but I have a hard time with any dramatic TV/movies with child actors because they just can't have the depth of experience to act out anything other than silly kid comedy.

I haven't seen the series but I've read the book and really liked it.
