If you like Stephen King or horror you should enjoy these short stories. There are a few that will stick in my mind for a while! Great narration, clear and easy to understand.

Another great collection of short stories.

I have to completely disagree with the earlier reviewer- this is a masterful collection of stories, a veritable 'how to' in writing short fiction. Some are creepy, some sad, a few silly. What shines through is King's ability to create identifiable characters and situations then pull a switch which terrifies or amuses. His novels have recently risen out of the irritating overwriting they've been plagued by for over a decade. He's rediscovered that less can be more. Whether this is because he's taken a lead from his son, Joe Hill, or if he's regained his muse, I can't complain.
Special note must be made of the audio presentation: several actors (including LA Law's Jill Eikenberry) vary the voice and tone of the stories, except in one case where the story has distinctly separate narrators where the effect is splendidly realised. King's own notes make it something to treasure, and its interesting to see which stories he choses to narrate himself.
There's an authenticity to King's work which makes him one of my favourite authors no matter how fantastic or dark the material he explores. 9/11 hangs heavy over this collection -explicitly in one story, allegorically in others.
As each story ended, it was a delight to find another one starting. Just wonderful.
