Before I even start on this review, I'm making it known I skipped over Blockade Billy in this collection. I have it as it's own book and so it had to be skipped somewhere, so I chose here instead of skipping it's hardcover.
I always like SK's collected stories. Most just see him as The King of Horror, but the reality is, he's actually written very little actual horror, and writes almost every genre there is (except romance). This collection isn't horror, I'm sure there's others that would define it as such, but there's only one or two, three at most, stories in here that could actually be classified as horror. What this collection is, is genreless really. While there's no one genre to define it, it is a collection on mortality.
I didn't find a single story in here that I didn't enjoy either, which is rare; there's usually at least one I dislike to the point that I wonder why it was written at all. But not with this one.
Kudos, Mr. King, while I'm sure my opinion means nothing to you, I do believe this is my favorite of your collections.
I give this book 5 of 5 Paws.
