Everything's Eventual
by Stephen King
I often wonder why Stephen King fans hate his short story collections. At least the SK fan I talk to in Facebook groups and stuff always have something negative to say about his short stories. It is not much different on booktube either. Personally I love his collections of short stories, they are quick reads and always leave a little smile on my face. That it what Everything's Eventual is, it is a collection of 14 short stories. The one that really stands out and is most memorable and should be read by all Dark Tower fans is The Little Sisters of Eluria. It is about Roland and vampires! Some other stand out stories in this collection are 1408, very different from the movie. Autopsy Room Four is terrifying! It is the first story about a guy who is awake but they think he is dead and are about to preform an autopsy on him.
Some these end abruptly and others end way different than you think they are going to end. What I liked most about this book was how it is written. Before every story Stephen King gives you some insite into how he wrote the story or how he came up with the idea for it, sometimes where he wrote it or how he wrote it. One story he wrote in Nevada and got the idea from a motel he stayed in that left casino chips on your pillow. He wrote the story longhand on the hotel stationary. Another is based on the death of his mother. This personal touch is really cool and it almost like getting two stories in one.
When it comes to SK books I admit I am very bias, I love all his work. I have never read an SK book I didn't like. If you like quick little short stories check out Everything's Eventual. If you are not a fan of the short story then pass this one up. To me there is something a little magical about a writer who can draw you in tell his story and be done in 50 pages or less.
