I had this in beautiful pristine hardback form. Then I loaned it to someone who turned out to be an asshole.
Ah, well. Got the paperback version now.

It’s a 4.5 stars. Really enjoyed many of the short stories in this one!

I read this for the two stories connected to The Dark Tower series. But I found myself enjoying the whole collection immensely, despite my usual tendency to avoid short stories.

I adore short story collections and this one is no exception. It’s has heart, humor and horror. The scariest one for me was “The Road Virus Heads North” but my favorite was “Riding the Bullet” which made me very emotional. Solid collection from a master of his craft.

Stephen King's short stories are always scarier to me than his novels. He leaves just enough unsaid for my imagination to take over and then I'm jumpy for days.
