A review by ashishkj212
Skeleton Crew by Stephen King

4.0

Okay I noted down some notes on the index to see all my reaction to all the short stories lets see how far I got with this

my fav was Nona or Survivor Type

The Mist 8/10
the movies image was stuck in my head so the cosmic horror part of the novella did not work for me,
if I didnt watch the movie i would have liked it more. really good tho.

The monkey 9/10
This had me till the end, all that build up for some boring ahh fishes? but happy ending and I like that

Cain Rose Up 5/10
The shock value was good but I wanted to spend more time in his head, the way he imagined was unique.

Mrs Todd's Shortcut 10/10
It starts slow and you think this is not going anywhere but once the weird stuff hit it never stops supriising me.

The Jaunt 10/10
That ending was worth everything and i want scifi horror from King now lol.

The Wedding Gig 7/10
The only thing ive noted is the narrator is way too angry at the girl.

The Raft 9/10
Highly predictable but damn was it a good read

Word Processor of the gods 9/10
Had a happy ending and that was good enuf

The Man Who Would not Shake Hands 9/10
I wish he did more with the creep factor. Also Indian do black magic was kinda corny ngl. still got that creepy feeling

BeachWorld 7/10
Dune but scary

Nona 10/10
IT FELT LIKE I WATCHED A MOVIE. I remember every scene the cinematography the writing I remember every detail like a movie it flowed so well too. If I was a film student I would make this my movie cause it felt so good.

Survivor Type 10/10
Again it read so fluently and i really liked the details. Vomit inducing

Uncle Autos Truck 10/10
Again the last 10 pages just picks the pace up and i dont even know how i can stop myself.

milkman #1 6/10
Might be dumb i just didnt get that he was the killer

Milkman #2 5/10
Again just thought the milkman was only cucking the guy and he killed himself did not think he was the killer

Gramma 9/10
if it went with dead grandma and no witch craft still would work.

The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet 10/10
Even tho IK how thorpe's story would go i didnt expect to keep reading. Shit had me hooked.
