The second story (with the Trucker) and the final one (A Good Marriage) were definitely my favorite!

1922 - Was a great read, and the film adaptation does it justice. It was a harrowing story of how one decision can have a butterfly effect on everything around you... a truly desolate tale.

Big Driver - A tough story to get through, it includes SA. The main characters internal monologue is very relatable... and revenge is sometimes the only option.

Fair Extension - Every series of novellas has one story that doesn't hit for particular readers and this one was it for me. It was quick, and honestly I zoned out....

A Good Marriage - I Loved this story. What is a good marriage? Knowing your partner inside out? sharing everything? Well, what if you didn't know everything? They do say "whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light". The second half of this story I was picturing Israel Keyes as the husband....iykyk

This is not something that you'd expect from a Stephen King's book. It doesn't involve supernatural stuff or weird mind connections. Yet i found it much scarier.
Because every story is plausible, every story could be happening right now as i read about it and I hold my breath rooting for the main characters. It made me question everything, and ask if I really know the people I have around. 
Perphaps is not the best book I have ever read, but it definitely changed something inside of me. Deeply recommend
