Try "Night Shift," his first collection of short stories.
You picked one of the worst books he's ever written - in my opinion.

I will give another go at 63/22/11 (here translated as Dallas'63) when it comes out as ebook (only in print for the moment)

My suggestion is to try Different Seasons, a collection of four Stephen King novellas, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, Apt Pupil, The Body and The Breathing Method. The first three have been made into successful Hollywood movies and they are not considered to be in the Horror Genre.
