Stephen King is usually thought of as someone who writes stories about monsters and gore, actually his work is so much more. "Different Seasons" is a perfect example of this. It is a book with four different stories in it "Rita Hayworth And The Shawshank Redemption", "Apt Pupil", "The Body" and "The Breathing Method" and each one has it's merits. In these the proof that King is a master story teller is evident. If you haven't read King, this would be a great place to start.
