I love Stephen King short fiction. I also love Stephen King long fiction. I just freaking love Stephen King fiction!

The short stories were great but the one the book is named after was too depressing to continue.

I really liked these short stories! They were all so unique and exciting. The third story had characters that came out of older books of King and I really liked that. You don’t really need to read those books to understand the story but it was a really nice touch!

I read two of the short stories and thoroughly enjoyed them. Got distracted and lost my steam after that. King is incredible though!

Refreshing. Different yet still King. I’ve had a couple reservations since the last two books but this one did not disappoint.

Loved the Holly Gibney story and hope for more. The Rat was great, too. A fun story.
