Collider has published a ranked list of the ten best psychological horror novels by Stephen King, compiled by writer Jeremy Urquhart. The list focuses specifically on books that lean on internal, mental and emotional terror rather than purely supernatural scares, though it notes some entries blend both styles. It only considers novels, excluding King's short stories and novellas.

Among the entries revealed are "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" (1999), ranked tenth, about a young girl surviving alone after getting lost in a forest, and "Rage" (1977), ranked ninth, a tense novel about a disturbed teenager who takes his classmates hostage at gunpoint. The full countdown continues through to the number one pick, showcasing the breadth of King's decades-long body of work in the genre.
