All 4 stories were good and the afterward does explain why and why I dislike a lot of other books. They don't accurately reflect how people would ACTUALLY behave. SK always does, even when we wish it were otherwise.

Really enjoyed Big Driver and A Good Marriage, which could be the fact that I'm a woman and grew up watching too many Lifetime movies with my mom. Fair Extension had potential but felt underdeveloped and read like a Wikipedia annual summary of world events. 1922 was a grueling and tiresome slog, but had moments of terror- King has a way of describing gore that paints a very clear picture in your mind, you mean to look away, but somehow you lean closer, trying to make sense of what you think you're seeing in the dark.
We get a fantastic look BTS in the Afterward. I love when King shares his inspiration for stories and thoughts on craft.
