Man, thinking about Derry gives me the creeps after reading 'It' as a kid. That town isn't just a location; it's a trap. The way King describes its geography—the canal, the ironworks, the standpipe—it all feels so real and so wrong. Castle Rock has a different vibe. It's more about human pettiness and violence exploding, like in 'Needful Things' where a mysterious shopkeeper plays on everyone's secret desires. Both towns show King's genius for making place a central character.
If you're new to this, maybe start with 'The Dead Zone' for Castle Rock and 'It' for Derry. They give you the foundation. Then you'll catch the little cross-references in later books, like when a character from one town gets mentioned in a newspaper headline in the other. It's a rabbit hole.
I see a lot of definitive lists, but there's some grey area. For instance, 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon' isn't set in either. 'Misery' isn't. 'The Shining' isn't. So it's a specific subset of his work. I think focusing on the clear-cut ones is best for a new reader. The deep-cut connections are for later, when you're hunting for Easter eggs in every book.

Some families run from their past. The Hawkins siblings hunt it down.
Katherine Hawkins never asked to grow up in a world where demons were real and survival meant learning how to fight them. Alongside her brothers—William and Alex—she’s spent years tracking the things that live in the dark. But when an old exorcism tape surfaces and names from a forgotten case start resurfacing—Malcolm Smith, Matthew Conner, Gabriel Spender—their past begins catching up with them fast.
Secrets their father kept buried are beginning to unravel. And the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: the monsters they’re chasing now are connected to something older, something unfinished… something personal.
Now, with danger closing in and trust wearing thin, the Hawkins siblings must head straight into the heart of a mystery that could shatter everything they thought they knew—about their family, their history, and the war they were born into.
Because sometimes, the real fight doesn’t start until after the ghosts come back.

KINGS & QUEENS IS THE FINAL BOOK OF THE VAMPIRE QUEENS TRILOGY
When the night dares you to play with fate, you either burn… or rise.
Charlie Greene never thought twice about the ordinary. New school, new faces—same old story. Luckily, he’s got Carter Fisher: the golden boy with a reckless smile, his best friend since forever, and the only person who ever made high school bearable. Together, they’re unstoppable. Untouchable. Unbreakable.
Until one wild night changes everything.
What starts as a stupid dare at a house party— a break-in at their own school for a thrill— spirals into something they can’t explain. A pulse in the walls. Whispers in the dark. A door that shouldn’t exist. And when they step through it, they’re thrown into a world that defies everything they know—a realm of living prophecies, ageless warriors, and creatures born from curses.
But legends come with a price.
Because in this world, one of them is destined to burn…
and the other, to rise from the ashes.
