The Little Green God of Agony by Stephen King
4.0
What do you know, Stephen King mentions my childhood hometown. The reverend who is in the story is from Jonesboro Arkansas. I wouldn’t think that little place would show up in a story. Anyway.
This was a great story, one of the best in the Bazaar of Bad Dreams. We meet an old rich white man who had an accident and is in constant pain. He is being taken care of my his nurse, Kat. There are a few more people in the room, one of them being the reverend who is here to heal the old man. Kat is against it and knows this man is a charlatan and wants the old man to do the hard work of physical therapy instead of looking for shortcuts.
The piece gets good from here and this is a supernatural story. It’s one of my favorite of the collection. The ending has a creepy factor.
