In the afterword of Stephen King’s highly regarded memoir/writing guide book On Writing, the bestselling writer shared a list of 96 books that he’d read while writing the book that he’d enjoyed and had influenced him. When a 10th anniversary of On Writing was released, an updated reading list of 82 books was included.

More recently, King has taken to Twitter to share with his fans and followers some of his favourite recent reads. Since joining the social media site in December 2013, he’s recommended the following 22 books.

1. Red Moon by Benjamin Percy

Finished RED MOON, by Benjamin Percy. A werewolf epic. Can’t stop thinking about it. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 10, 2013

2. The Marauders by Tom Cooper

“If shit was money, poor people would be born without assholes.” Read it in Tom Cooper’s THE MARAUDERS. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 2, 2014

3. Dominion by C.J. Sansom

DOMINION, by C.J. Sansom: Great alternate-history novel. The Nazis win, occupy Britain. On sale this week. Check it out. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 26, 2014

That book DOMINION is terrific. And no, this isn’t one of those publisher-sponsored blurbs. I just fell in love with it. Nice and long, too. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 27, 2014

4. The Killer Next Door by Alex Marwood

If you read Alex Marwood’s THE WICKED GIRLS, her new one–THE KILLER NEXT DOOR–is even better. Scary as hell. Great characters. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 16, 2014

5. Local Souls by Allan Gurganus

Reading LOCAL SOULS, by Allan Gurganus, and came across a nice quote attributed to Joe Louis: “I did the best I could with what I had.” — Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 22, 2014

6. The Secret Place by Tana French

Read THE SECRET PLACE, by Tana French, when it comes out. You’ll understand then. Great book. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 26, 2014

7. The Accident by Chris Pavone

THE ACCIDENT, by Chris Pavone: if you like real nail-biters, this is the best one so far this year. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 28, 2014

8. Missing You by Harlan Coben

The new Harlan Coben is twisty and terrific. The stuff about the cops’ wives is especially good. Beautiful observation. I’m jealous. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) April 4, 2014

9. Doing Harm by Kelly Parsons

DOING HARM, by Kelly Parsons: best damn medical thriller I’ve read in 25 years. Terrifying OR scenes, characters with real texture. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) April 15, 2014

10 – 12. The Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer

I’m loving THE SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY, by Jeff Vandermeer. Recommended by an indie bookseller. Creepy and fascinating. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 1, 2014

13 & 14. Niceville and The Homecoming by Carsten Stroud

NICEVILLE and THE HOMECOMING, by Carsten Stroud: crazy-good supernatural/crime/horror epic. Blew me away. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 23, 2014

Really one novel. You’ve never read anything like it. Faulkner crossed with Steve King. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 23, 2014

15 – 20. Gone series by Michael Grant

I made Michael Grant’s GONE series last, but finished the last one today. I am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my time there was well spent. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) July 3, 2014

21. Joyland by Emily Schultz

Emily Schultz is my new hero. You go with your bad self, girl. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 24, 2014

* Emily Schultz recently started a blog called Spending the Stephen King Money I’m delighted for her, and I’m going to order her book.”

22. State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

STATE OF WONDER, by Ann Patchett: took me awhile to get around to it, but boy, was it worth it. Highest recommendation. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) July 9, 2014
