A review by mistysbookspace
You Like It Darker by Stephen King

3.5

 I read this with the #KeeperofKing readalong group on Instagram. We had been taking a break from King this year but when the host asked if we wanted to read this one, we were all on board. This is Kings newest release and it's a collection of 12 short stories, 2 of which were released on their own before this, so they were rereads for me. I didn't hate any of the stories in this collection. There was only one story that left me confused after finishing it. The majority of the stories were ok reads. I didn't hate them but I also didn't love them. After finishing them I was left needing more from them. There were 3 standouts in this collection for me and they were Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream, Rattlesnakes and The Answer man. Of course, 2 of the longest ones would be the ones I liked the most. These 3 stories didn't leave me feeling like I needed more. I felt like we got the whole story, and I was left satisfied upon finishing all of them. Short stories are always hit or miss for me especially when it comes to King but overall, I thought this was an ok collection.
