Just After Sunset
by Stephen King
This in my opinion is one of Stephen King's better collections of short stories even though three out of the thirteen I considered bad or just okay. I try to be objective when it comes to King but it is hard since he is my favorite writer of all time.
Most of these stories I would give a 5 out of 5. The middle of the book is slow because I think the three worst are all back to back. The slow part of the book for me was when you get to story #3 Harvey's Dream. I gave this a 3/5, then story #4 Rest Stop is a 2/5, followed by #5 Stationary Bike another 2/5. These three were my least favorite and really slow the book down. But everything is a solid 4-5/5.
This collection also holds my favorite Stephen King short story of all time #9 The Cat From Hell. Other highlights are #6 The Things They Left Behind, this one is very emotional about September 11th. #10 The New York Times At Special Bargain Rates, #11 Mute, and #12 Ayana all shine as great stories, and fun to read. The books ends are great fun story #13 A Very Tight Place, SO GOOD!!!
The least favorite story for me is #7 Graduation Afternoon, this one is one of the worst stories I have ever read by Stephen King. It was bad, didn't make much sense, and boring to read it got a 1/5.
Just After Sunset is certainly worth a read, especially if you love King like I do. Even with the bad this book gets a 4.5/5
