4.25
Most of the stories I rated from a 3.5-5, but collectively I think I would rate this collection of short stories a 4.25/5.
There were several that stood out to me, particularly "Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream," the Cujo sequel "Rattlesnakes," and "The Answer Man."
Some of the stories are surprisingly quite sad, so that was something I was surprised by. I don't think I would read this again, but I definitely had a hard time putting it down. Perfect for spooky season or if you are wanting some reflective, tense short stories.
