The Bazaar of Bad Dreams: Stories by Stephen King
5.0
Excellent book. As always, Stephen King's writing is impeccable.
This is a book filled with short stories. It was so fascinating to see him move from perspective to perspective and from one writing style to the next. I loved the little explanations before each of his stories explaining where his inspiration for them came from. It was an eye-opening peek into the life of a writer.
I think as an educator, this taught me some interesting things about how to foster better writing in my students. It also taught me patience in writing, as good stories don't come from forced thought.
I would recommend this book to all readers who have ever enjoyed or been intrigued by Stephen King's writing. It is not scary in the shock factor, as one might expect from ghost stories told around the campfire. Rather, these stories stay with you, rattling around in your brain as you ponder human behavior and what if's.
