I can't believe only one post in this topic mentions The Colorado Kid. Dry, boring, forgettable. I read it about a year ago and honestly can't remember a single thing about it, other than wanting to put it down many times while reading it. I was also extremely dissapointed in From a Buick 8 and Bag of Bones. I have read every single regularly published Stephen King book (none of that online only of Kindle crap) and I can't honestly remember all of them well enough to pick a definitive worst.

I was dissapointed Just After Sunset as well. A few stories were top notch, the rest instantly forgettable. Oh well, not every short story collection can be full of amazing stories. While certainly not a contender for worst King book, it didn't live up to my expectations his previous short story collections had set.

I have to agree with many of you though - The Long Walk is probably my favorite King work. I've read it at least four or five times, and somehow it's fresh and exciting every time. It has stuck in my memory and resonated with me more than almost any other story I've read. His shorter novellas/short stories are really where he shines.
