The ones nobody ever really talks about, on here or elsewhere? I never hear anyone discuss Firestarter, the book or the movie. Are there any fans of it? Also, my second favorite King book is The Eyes of the Dragon. I hardly ever see anything about this one either.

Overlooked? I can't think of any.
Plenty that should never have been written.
I would rather have quality than quantity.

the Eyes of the dragon is very under-rated. I agree with you The Eyes of the Dragon is my favorite Stephen king books and one of my favorites overall. I really want him to write a sequel to the eyes of the dragon.

Bag of Bones and Christine are both great! I had no interest in reading Christine because I knew what it was about, I'm so glad I did pick it up.
Bag of Bones, I don't hear alot of people talk about that, but it's one of his very best.

Roadwork is the first that came to mind. A fascinating study of an imploding life.

Thinner. Well crafted story and a page turner. Loved the ending too.

'The Dark Half', just a really good book and 'Secret Window, Secret Garden', similar and just as good, and another like themed story that has been overlooked in my opinion, is 'The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet'.

Needful Things
Cujo seems to be overlooked these days
Firestarter
Bachman books

Dolores Claiborne. It also has an excellent film adaptation with Kathy Bates.

Yeah, Firestarter was pretty cool.
My pick is Insomnia.

The Running Man
much.

great post, Roadwork and Cujo are two of my favorites so I totally agree.
From a Buick 8 is also a very underrated novel.

Most of the Bachmans are probably overlooked, but "Roadwork" is the best of the Bachmans and, in my opinion, a Top 10 book from King's entire opus. I think if it had been published under the King name, it would be considered a literary classic today.
What else? Hmmmm. I think while "Cujo" is famous, it is often overlooked or dismissed. It has a lot of stuff to say about the disintegration of the ideal American nuclear family, and Donna Trenton is one of the most complex characters in King's work.

IT and The Shining
I'm sorry, but in what world are those two overlooked?! Both are considered to be classics in King's body of work.

Hearts in Atlantis is one of my favorite books by him.

My favorite work of his, Hearts in Atlantis, doesn't get talked about nearly enough.
The Long Walk and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon are both excellent and underrated.
