I have very mixed feelings. On one hand, I think that King can write a fantastic story. Each short was unique and interesting in their own way. However, the use of slurs, fatphobia, ableism, and misogyny is incredibly off-putting. The n-word was used twice in The Boogeyman for absolutely no reason.
Graphic: Suicide, Racial slurs, Violence, Child death, Gore, and Cancer
