DNF. First story was alright, but the second story was so aggravating that I had to put it down.

i have a deep and abiding affection for the opener and closer of this collection -- the middle two stories are really excellent too, but those two were pretty stellar standouts!! idk why it took me so long to finish this but i'm glad i did eventually 😅

This book is pulp and I think it knows that. Its fun! Pure and simple. As a book to read between heavy things its perfect but the book itself is not a marvel of literature at all.

For a book about time travel and by the horror guy himself, I honestly thought going into the future was meant to be heaven but it’s literally just the future. Everything up until then was very good, I loved Nick and Dinah etc but I wish we found out more about what happened to Brian

I enjoyed the narration on the audio edition. The Langoliers and Secret Window, Secret Garden were my favorites. I'm kind of surprised that I was able to get into it since I typically don't read anything bordering on sci fi or horror. Could have done without the heavy reliance on insanity tropes and use of the R word though.
