Nightmares and Dreamscapes
by Stephen King
A very large, and very disappointing collection of stories by King. Despite its 900 something page count, none of these stories are particularly great. And some felt like filler. Why King and his editors decided to reprint a lengthy non-fiction piece about his son's little league team I couldn't tell you, but it was a slog.
My favorite story in here is probably "Umney's Last Case," a reasonably clever take on the Chandler/noir genre. But even that overstays its welcome. Most of these stories are fine. Not bad, not great. But as a whole Nightmares and Dreamscapes is a completely skippable moment in King's career. Unless you're a completest, you needn't bother.
