Finished The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon a little while ago, really underrated Stephen King novel imo. The premise is just a girl getting lost in the Appalachian woods, but the book is so extraordinarily well written that you really connect with the character and can almost feel the scenery around you. Not to mention that the typical Stephen King Horror is done really subtly and woven into the story really well, as the main character begins hallucinating and the reader is left to interpret things on their own without the help of a level headed protagonist. I'm not saying that King's the first author to do that or anything, just that he does it incredibly well.
Plus, the ending is great, unlike a lot of King's stories (by his own admission.) I still like Desperation's better, but this is definitely up there. It's only a few hundred pages, so give it a read if you're looking for an truly uneasy story.
