10 Most Insane Stories Stephen King Ever Dreamt Up

Are these tales scary good, or just plain nuts?

Stephen King isn't just one of the world's most successful authors, or renowned authors, or best authors (taste being subjective, of course), but also one of the most prolific. There's no arguing that last point really. His output is truly amazing - between novels and short stories he has literally hundreds of works of fiction. Many are good, some are great, some (by his own admission) not so much. However almost all are worth reading, especially if you're a fan of his, but even if you're simply a fan of the written word. Given his preferred subject matter, mind you, some are also... well, what's a nice way to say completely freaking insane? See, King - who once claimed that if he couldn't terrify, he'd just go for the gross out - isn't one to shy away from crazy concepts that shouldn't work. For every demonic clown, there's a possessed car or three. For every dark vampire tale, there's a story of a company that motivates you to quit smoking - by threatening the well-being of your loved ones. Or a town possessed by the spirits of dead aliens. Or a pie that, when eaten, will cause you to waste away to a shadow. Those aren't even the most insane concepts of the bunch, however. Not even close. What is? Well, lets take a look now at ten Stephen King stories that are absolutely certifiably insane!
