Quintessential Stephen King, his first and darkest short story collection (though some stories cross into black comedy). Several of these stories have been made into movies, while others contain traces of later works (some arguably written better here!) Be prepared for any and all types of horror -- and if you're a Salem's Lot fan, you're in for a treat.
