To scratch the itches of Stephen King and baseball, try his novella "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" - sort-of scary, yes, in the way that things we can't see are scary ... but she's a kid you can root for.
Interesting . . . I, too, picked up my first Stephen King novel on the way to a bus trip to Elizabethton, TN. It was Salem's Lot, and it scared me, but I fell in love. Sadly, he's not the author he once was and I've only tried a few of his books in the last 10-15 years - a couple were good but most just didn't move me, much less scare me.
