A very good teaser of what is in Night Shift. I will need to pick it up. The stories featured were:
The Graveyard Shift 3.5/5 It was fine, well written and good ending but I just felt this could have been a bit longer. And I don't wanna compare to another author but..... James Herbert did it better.
The Man Who Loved Flowers 4.5/5 Very Short but I loved it. I kinda guessed everything about it but it was just so well done.
The Last Rung on The Ladder 5/5 That was just really tense. A real emotional rollercoaster and I like the way King makes you care about characters so quickly. My fav of the collection.
Night Surf 3/5 A very weird book, and the twist is very predictive of what would happen in a certain year. Also I do like that once it clicked you could see why they did the event at the start.
Jerusalems Lot 5/5 King doing an eldritch historical horror, SIGN ME UP ! This felt like a massive love letter to a lot of great shorts of the past, and I just really enjoyed this one.

It is hard to review books of short stories because there are always some stories that I love and some that I don't like so much. In this book, I loved "The man who loved flowers" and "The last Rung on the Ladder". The rest of the stories were not to my taste. The two stories I mentioned don't have a supernatural aspect to them at all and are just good stories. The other stories have a Sci-Fi or supernatural feel which is not my thing- however I did listen to the stories and was mildly entertained which is why I rated the book 4 stars. The two stories I mentioned are worth reading/listening to the book for sure.
