Nightmares & Dreamscapes by Stephen King
4.0

My second volume of King short stories and it was a behemoth of a book. I did enjoy most of the stories a lot even though at times I feel like it was a slog to get through. Unlike Everything’s Eventual, where I got something out of all of them, Nightmares and Dreamscapes either had me captivated or bored. 

My favorites were: Dolan’s Cadillac, You Know They Got a Hell of a Band, The Ten O’Clock People, and The House on Maple Street. 

The only one I didn’t finish was King’s famous nonfiction essay about baseball: Head Down. Even as a baseball fan, I thought it horrible dry. 

Overall I’d still give it 4/5 stars. Even the not so great stories were made better by King’s writing.
