Opzich prima boek! Aantal verhalen waar ik niet door heen kwam, aantal verhalen die wat te abstract vond, maar vooral de laatste waren toppers waarbij ik niet meer kon stoppen met lezen! : De man in het zwarte pak, de kleine zusters van Eluria, alles is eventueel, het wegvirus rijd naar het noorden, en achtbaan! Las dit boek eigenlijk voor 1408! Al vond ik dat verhaal een beetje tegen vallen. Ik kijk volgende keer gewoon weer de film.. ;)

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.

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.

aperoll91's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

I broke up with my partner and it was his dad's book lol

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.
