Some of these stories were really great and held my interest. Some of them were so hard to stick with and not entertaining in the slightest. The bad outweighed the good for me. I WANTED to love this. But I just didnβt.

Will finish eventually, but my brain is hopelessly resistant to short stories (I crave novels because I like living inside those worlds longer with a more fleshed-out plot and character development).

I love Stephen King's short story books, and this one is no different. My favourites have to be The Man In The Black Suit, The Road Virus Heads North, 1408 and That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is In French. For me, these are the most unnerving and creepiest stories in the book. It always amazed me the way King can make you feel what the main character is feeling, and he does it brilliantly, for me, in these stories. It's definitely a must read.

There is a Dark Tower story in here, in addition to some other excellent King short stories.
