I read my first Stephen King book at age 13, The Dark Half. And I loved it. It terrified and enthralled me, and I was instantly hooked. My next book was his infamous 'IT'. Even though I was 13 I could identify with his characters. Many of them were my age, after all. But he wrote the truth. And that is was synched my obsession.
I really think when it comes to the King, it all depends on the kid. Every child matures at a different rate, regardless of age. At 13 I was ready and his books thrilled me. To this day, his writing still inspires me and his stories never grow old. The profanity, the sexuality, the horror is intense, but most kids by age 13 have already heard the bad words (not just at school, but often at home as well!) If your child wants to read Stephen King, you can always compromise on one of his tamer short stories! Trust your instincts. You know what's best for your child.

Books like "Carrie," "The Shining," and "It" may be appropriate for a mature 13 year old reader. It's important to consider the young reader's maturity level and comfort with Horror themes before recommending a Stephen King book.

∙ 14y agoIt probably depends on the 11 year old in question, but as a general rule and speaking as a lifelong fan, I'd say by Junior High, you should be OK. At 11, The Eyes of the Dragon might be great - it is a knights-and-maidens fantasy, not a true horror story, and one of his best.
