For the completist, chronological by the book's publication date is the way. Start with 'Carrie' (1976), then 'Salem's Lot' (TV miniseries, 1979), 'The Shining' (1980), and so on.
It's a marathon, not a sprint, and you'll hit some real stinkers along the way, but you'll have a complete picture of his influence on cinema. It’s a project, for sure, but deeply rewarding if you're a mega-fan wanting to trace his career through adaptations.
Think about what scares you. If you fear isolation, watch 'The Shining' and '1408'. If you fear fanaticism, watch 'Misery' and 'The Mist'. Fear of the past? 'It' and 'Pet Sematary'. Fear of the system? 'Shawshank'.
Tailoring the order to your own anxieties makes the horror incredibly personal and effective. It's less about chronology and more about curated dread.
