List of fictional books in the works of Stephen King

The following is a List of fictional books in the works of Stephen King. This is emphatically not a list of works of fiction "by" Stephen King, but rather a list of books that appear within his stories, usually written by one of the characters in the story such as the novelist Paul Sheldon's books mentioned in "Misery." Since the titles exist only within the context of the story, they are fictional.

This article was created as a spin-off of the overgrown List of fictional books article. There is also a main article on fictional books in general.
