lazycow 's review for:

The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King
3.0

This is my first foray into Stephen King. I love short stories and many of these were great. I will admit Stephen King's exploration of the darker themes of human nature and morbid subject matter did begin to wear on me after a while, but they are engaging and interesting.

Before each short story is a short preface by King on what spurred him to write each story. In a way, he explains his writing process and what it means for him to be a writer. I found these insightful even if I did not agree with all of his views.

I will have to try a full length novel in the future.

I just realized I finished this on Christmas. Merry Christmas! Look out for the knife..
