The general plot of the novel was: In this magical world, there were two kinds of people. One was the living and the other was the dead. Which kind of person was scarier?

For me, 'Salem's Lot' is really frightening. The vampires in this novel are not the glamorous kind. They are brutal and they slowly take over the town of Jerusalem's Lot. The way King builds the tension as the town falls under their control is masterful.

In my opinion, 'It' is extremely scary. That clown, Pennywise, is just so menacing and the idea of a shape - shifting evil that lurks in the sewers of a town is really terrifying. 'The Shining' is also very frightening. The haunted hotel and the slow descent into madness of the main character are quite spooky.

I would say 'I Am the Doorway'. It's a unique and thought - provoking short story. The idea of an astronaut becoming a portal for something otherworldly is both strange and terrifying. King's writing makes it very engaging.

For many, 'Salem's Lot' is up there. The vampires in this novel are not the glamorous type. They are menacing and the way they take over the small town is quite spooky. The slow build - up of the vampire presence makes it all the more frightening.

I think 'Survivor Type' is extremely scary. It's about a man stranded on an island and the lengths he goes to in order to survive, including some truly gruesome acts. It makes you question how far a person can go when pushed to the brink, and the vivid descriptions add to the horror.

For me, 'The Mist' has a disturbing ending. The decision that the main character makes at the end, in the face of such hopelessness, is both tragic and disturbing. It's a very dark and unexpected way to end the story.

One of his scariest short stories could be 'The Mist'. The sense of isolation and the unknown horrors lurking in the mist create a terrifying atmosphere. The characters are trapped in a supermarket, surrounded by the mist that holds all kinds of deadly creatures. The psychological tension as they try to figure out what to do and face their possible doom is truly spine - chilling.
