Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales by Stephen King
3.0
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a million times: I don’t think King writes especially good short stories. All too often they’re missing the focused and lived-in characters, ie. what makes King worth reading (in my opinion—don’t get mad at me, horrorheads).
However, this is maybe the most consistent King short story collection thus far, L.T.’s Theory of Pets being the only REAL stinker. But the two standouts, That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French and 1408 (both dripping with dread and a nearly surreal touch that King seldom taps), are back-to-back and come quite late in the book.
The rest is serviceable in one way or another, but not much more.
