This was a really fun book to read. It was hard to put down as I just wanted to keep reading the next story!! There were some stories I could give or take, but some of them I'll probably reread. Here are some of my favorites in no particular order:
-The Ledge
-Quitters Inc
-Trucks
-The Mangler
-Sometimes They Come Back
I love King’s visual language in his more physical horror stories, but I also love how he is able to twist your stomach and keep you on the edge with his psychological horror stories. I don’t think this is his best work by any means but it genuinely was a fun read.

Children of the Corn...more 'Salem's Lot...how does he stay so creepy.

always hard to rate a short story collection because I never love all of the stories. so here are my favorites:
I Am the Doorway
The Mangler
Trucks
Sometimes They Come Back (maybe #1)
The Ledge
I Know What You Need
The Last Rung on the Ladder (cried in this one)
and honorable mention to the one that made me most uncomfy - The Lawnmower Man
