challenging dark emotional funny mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.5

What a ride. I really enjoyed this book in all it's weirdness. Each story is very unique, dealing with a great variety of topics.

dark mysterious tense

4.0

Nice collection of short stories - some great and some uh... not so much! Now for a short summary:

"Jerusalem's Lot" - god I love 'Salem's Lot

"Graveyard Shift"- this main character is batshit CRAZY 
  
"Night Surf" - meh

"I Am the Doorway"- this is gay body horror I won't hear otherwise
  
"The Mangler" - so cooky I kinda of love it
  
"The Boogeyman" - GREAT one
 
"Gray Matter" - I'm not scared of jello, sorry :/
 
"Battleground" - silly fun!

"Trucks" - transformers for people who hate cars. fun.
 
"Sometimes They Come Back" - it's  good! the ending is disheartening

"Strawberry Spring" - another GREAT one 
 
"The Ledge" - Creepshow did it better and they had Leslie Nielsen

"The Lawnmower Man" - Stephen King would like for you to know that he hates fat people. 4/10 for the Greek references.
 
"Quitters, Inc." - I chuckled.
 
"I Know What You Need" - so disturbing oh my god read this one!!!

"Children of the Corn" - I can't believe they made 11 movies out of this. it's a great story, but 11 movies?

"The Last Rung on the Ladder" - so tragic and so so sad 

"The Man Who Loved Flowers" - cheap. could see that coming from a mile away
 
"One for the Road" - I! LOVE! 'SALEM'S LOT!! first story was better though.
 
"The Woman in the Room" - I teared up a little at the end there lol
