Entry Stephen King book for a kid? (lemmy.world)

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 😄

First King book I read was The Stand. About the same age. Not too scary, good story about good vs evil.

Where are you from OP? this can influence what you deem acceptable for an 11 yo. E. g. americans seem ok with gruesome murder while puritanical towards any sex or nudity whatsoever.

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