This is my main grouse with King...Many a time what could have been a really cool long story/novella ends up as a stretched out, gasping for ideas, novel.
The works of his I love most:
Different Seasons - Collection of 3 great and 1 so-so (the last) novellas
Hearts in Atlantis - Beautiful tear-jerking magic realism narrative
Shining - Great isolaton fear piece
Skeleton Crew and Night Shift - Excellent short story collections
