3.5
3.5 rounded down. There are a few absolutely bangers of stories in here that I loved. Graveyard shift, battlefield, trucks, and the ledge were my favorites. Some others are mid but nothing is bad in here. Lawnmower man is a story in Stephen King lore that I’ve heard about as a fan for years. It lived up to the hype. Bizarre. Worth checking out as a collection but a little same-ie if you read it all back to back.
