It was very difficult for me to get lost in this book due to the incredible number of grammatical errors & misuse of homonyms. I kept wanting to get a red pen and start marking all the errors, but then I realized that there was no where to send the corrections. There is no Library of Congress information, no book company with an address, nothing indicating that this was not printed in someone's basement. The plots were not bad, but I've read them before in other people's versions of similar work. Very disappointing.

Audio version... nice distraction whilst hiking.
I'm too addicted to King's novels to truly enjoy the short stories.

Stephen King??

This collection apparently wasn't authored by THE Stephen King (The Shining,etc.). None of the stories in this collection appear in THE Stephen King's library. These stories, for the most part, are shallow and poorly written. Apparently, no one took the time to edit because they are filled with a variety of errors. Just a really bad choice!

Not a good read

Despite that this is NOT the real Stephen King Master of weird horror fiction, it's just plain bad story telling. I kept reading each book hoping that it would all eventually make sense. It never did. I would recommend y I u NOT read.

Awful

I have been a SK fan for decades and my third grade grandson could beat this. I've never read anything this poorly written attributed to SK. This has to be a joke.......

Not his best

It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. I would only get it if you are a King fan and it's on sale.
