A review by lisacerezo
If It Bleeds by Stephen King

4.0

I really think I love King’s short stories even more than his novels, even the early ones. Each was satisfying in its own way, even if the last put me off both rats and sequestering myself in a cabin to write. I will say that it probably helps to read the Mr. Mercedes trilogy before reading the titular short story, though I had not, and enjoyed it just fine. I probably lost a lot of King’s signature layering on that one, though. Anyway, this is a very enjoyable collection, and one that Constant Readers should enjoy.
