Four Past Midnight

The Langoliers-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An incredibly creative and breathtaking story that, when it comes down to it, is about appreciating the little things in life. Such an interesting read.

Secret Window, Secret Garden-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A brilliantly written story with an insane amount of depth. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish!

The Library Policeman-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This novella was disturbingly inspiring and incredibly unique. After reading the first third, I didn’t expect the amount of shock and horror that ultimately came. I really enjoyed the prose and how King wove things together throughout. Definitely not one for the faint of heart…

The Sun Dog-⭐️⭐️⭐️

This one is definitely the worst novella in the collection. The plot is boring, and I could was struggling to get through any of the chapters centered on Pop Merrill. Kevin and King’s gift in writing coming-of-age horror saved this one from a one or two star rating.

Overall 18/20: 4.5 STARS
