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 😄

The girl that loved Tom Gordon. It’s not very long has a 9 year old protagonist and even if it wouldn’t have a monster it would be still a page turner.
