Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best
21. The Outsider
Over the years, King has began to remix his portfolio by becoming a leading voice in the crime genre. The Outsider follows on (thanks to one key character) from End of Watch, and asks the question: How can one man be in two places at once? The man is Terry Maitland, a Little League coach accused of murder, and the cops have him dead to rights. Only, his alibi is water-tight.
Bursting with surreal violence, unsettling imagery and sudden twists, The Outsider balances King's newfound love for crime with his seamless ability to create a crafty horror, and the results are truly to die for.
