Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best

16. Christine

Stephen King in It: Chapter Two
Hodder

Christine is the novel that perfectly sums up just how great an imaginative storyteller Stephen King is. Following the murderous impulses of a 1958 Plymouth Fury and the interwoven lives of its obsessed owner, his best friend and his girlfriend, King describes Christine as a story of a "lovers' triangle" as well as the story of a haunted car.

With its surreal imagery, horrific action and mind-bending plot, King proves to be an author able to make horrors out of the mundane. A car shouldn't be scary, but with Stephen it's both terrifying and a big, dark metaphor for teenage angst that hits all the right notes.
