A couple of entertaining stories from the master of horror- Stephen King. This was an audiobook version of some of his short stories taken from Night Shift. The narration was good, and the stories were interesting.

3.5 - listened as an audiobook and John Glover does a WONDERFUL job at narration.
So weird and whacky and classic SK. Love it

Two words, Steven King. I think that is all you need, right?

DNF'd at 20%, now I really enjoy horror, I really enjoy weird sh*t. I don't get grossed out very often and when I do I often still enjoy the experience. None of this was true for this Stephen King. The concepts of this may have been saved by better writing or a more interesting plot. But it seemed like a bunch of concepts or unfinished novels wrapped up and put into one book and called a short story collection. Also the plots came across as the most disgusting fantasy/drug induced nightmares I have read. It wasn't doing anything interesting nor did it have anything to really say it was just graphic and gross for no other reason than to shock and I didn't enjoy it.

Uneven quality, to say the least. The Mangler is almost comically bad, but The Ledge was fantastic. The title story was just bizarre.

I'm not a huge fan of short stories but this collection is really good. It almost doesn't matter what you're afraid of, there's something in this book that will freak you out. For me, I still can't sleep if a closet door is open. (Thank you, The Boogeyman.)
