Another collection of short stories and novellas by Stephen King. I've only read the first story, 1922, which was excellent, but I have high hopes for the rest of the book. The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me both came from some of his previous collections. It's clear that King is back on form. His last novel Under the Dome was excellent too. Recommended.

Interesting! Is this a new release by Stephen King???? Been stuck in the H.P Lovecraft trench to long for having a 100% check on his new releases.Originally Posted by Mr Pants
