Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best

Published in 1998, Bag of Bones follows a widowed writer as he spends some time at his and his wife's old lake house, trying to combat his endless writers block. Along the way, he finds himself embroiled with a dangerous custody battle and struggling with strange, violent visions.

It's a compulsively readable novel despite it's slow start, and balances the horror with the drama very well, but it's also kind of unoriginal, with a haunted house, a beaten-down writer and a tragic love story reading like a replay of King's more accomplished work.
