emomixtape's review against another edition
Unfortunately not his best. I love King and have read almost all of his books. Other than the three most famous ones in this collection (The Mist, "The Jaunt," and "Survivor Type") I felt the stories were a slog. "The Wedding Gig" is where I gave up - it's one of the most viciously fat hating things I've ever read, and I don't have the patience for any more of these older, less polished, less nuanced stories.
