For a beginner, I'd recommend 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption'. It's a classic that shows King's storytelling skills well. The story of the inmates' lives in prison and their hopes is really touching. 'The Jaunt' is also a good choice. It has an interesting science - fiction like idea that is introduced in an accessible way. And 'I Know What You Need' which has a simple yet creepy plot that can get a beginner into King's style.
Definitely start with 'All That You Love Will Be Carried Away'. It's a short and thought - provoking story that can give you a taste of King's ability to make you think about deeper things. 'Survivor Type' is also a good pick as it has a straightforward plot about survival, although it is a bit dark. And 'Quitters, Inc.' is a fun and scary short story that can introduce a beginner to King's unique brand of horror.
For a beginner, 'The Raft' is a great choice. It's about a group of friends on a raft in a lake and something terrifying in the water. It's a straightforward horror story. 'Mrs. Todd's Shortcut' is also quite interesting. It has a bit of a mystery element along with the horror as Mrs. Todd seems to be taking some very strange shortcuts. Another one could be 'The End of the Whole Mess' which has a unique take on the end of the world scenario.
I'd recommend 'Night Shift'. It has a lot of short stories that are relatively easy to get into and are great introductions to King's horror style. The stories in it are not overly complex in terms of plot but still manage to be very spooky.
Sure. 'The Mist' is a great one. It creates a really tense and claustrophobic atmosphere as the characters are trapped in a supermarket surrounded by a mysterious mist filled with terrifying creatures.
