This is the first Stephen King I've ever read, and I thought it was a great introduction to his work! All four stories are gripping and dark, underpinned by a deeply human sense of emotion.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Gore
Moderate: Rape and Antisemitism
The biggest TW I would say, besides gore for the whole book obviously, is in the story Apt Pupil, which has some rape mentions and a theme of antisemitism.
