Skimmed through this one enjoyed my time but read a few of the stories
Within this collection you’ve got a few stories of note:
The Mist is the longest story perhaps actually a novella and is genuinely scary. Some of the story is a little weak but it’s probably King’s most genuinely unnerving stories.
Mrs Todd’s Shortcut was quite good. The story is beautifully written and fairy tale like. Great story.
The Jaunt is the best story in the collection. It is a brilliant piece of science fiction and perhaps my favorite King short story.
The rest of the stories are okay, a few are bad, and a few I couldn’t make sense of. The whole collection is worth it though for those three gems.
