Readers have been getting nightmares from Stephen King books since the early '70s, with no signs of stopping any time soon. The popularity of Stranger Things — which was heavily inspired by King's work — proves that his work endures. With over 50 books in print, countless film adaptations, and and a Twitter full of book recommendations, readers are never far from another King fix.
