Blockade Billy by Stephen King

4.0

This was a really, really short book. I read it in one sitting without bathroom breaks, so buy it used (not for the $14 list price).

The book was two short stories, Blockade Billy and Morality. Blockade Bill was good, not great, but King resisted the urge to offer a supernatural explanation, which was nice. Very straightforward story.

I favored Morality much more. Without giving away too much it involves a peculiar proposal with a hefty sum of money offered to a young couple and the consequences of following through with it. It was classic King. I might read it again tonight.
