Just After Sunset by Stephen King
3.0
Willa-
Catch the Buck Owens/Roy Clark reference :-) One of the things I love about King are his music references; the way his characters frequently have bits of songs stuck in their minds.
The Gingerbread Girl-
I'll never think the same way about those empty looking monstrous houses along the stretch between St. Augustine Beach and Crescent Beach again.
Rest Stop-
This is a good story about domestic violence (one of life's REAL boogies) and what can happen when someone steps in. What bothers me, being a Florida native is that the main character starts out heading for Sarasota from Jacksonville. The rest stop is 7 miles south of Ocala. THEN he heads BACK in the direction of Lake City? I'm confused.
The Cat From Hell-
Didn't he write an earlier one about a cat taking the breath away from people? Mr. King does not like cats, does he?
The Things They Left Behind-
Certainly the most touching of the stories. Post 9-11 Survivor story. Again, touching.
