Each story was a lot different from the last while each being similar. Each one had characters from the first novella and were all impacted by him in some way, especially the events that unfolded in the town. I really enjoyed the way they all meshed together while being so different.
The first novella was easily my favorite of them all. The second one wasn't bad. I enjoyed the protagonist I thought it was an interesting concept, and I was interested in it. However, I found the following two just sort of blended together, and I wasn't overly interested in them. I enjoyed how it had a conclusion that came full circle however. I enjoyed these reads overall.

The first story - Low Men in Yellow Coats was the best but the whole book of intertwined stories was really well done.

I really love this one and will have to properly review it soon. But for now, it was I think better on the reread than the first read.

An excellent read for fans of the era, stories that wrap childhood nostalgia into questions of who we are, and some of King’s best writing.
