This is arguably Stephen King’s modern masterpiece. It’s not a horror novel in the 'clowns in sewers' sense, but it is a haunting, beautiful, and sometimes brutal look at fate.
For a teen who likes historical fiction or sci-fi, this is a top-tier recommendation. It’s long, but it’s the kind of book that makes you stay up until 2 AM because you're terrified of what happens when the clock hits November 22nd. Just be ready for some heavy conversations about the violence and the 'good old days' that weren't actually that good for everyone.
