Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales by Stephen King

dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I finally read this book after rereading The Dark Tower series. This collection contains a Dark Tower tale and, while that was fine and good, the rest of the story stands on its own. Most of the 14 tales are captivating - highlights being "All That You Love Will Be Carried Away," "Autopsy Room Four," "L.T. Theory of Pets," "1408," and "Riding the Bullet." Any lover of King should obviously read this book but someone new would find this to be a very accessible introduction to the master of horror.
