BEWARE Goodreads friends......The author of GRAVE DECISIONS is NOT the REAL Stephen King, but someone with or using the same name to promote his books. Do not be deceived as I was......

Am trying to decide if I should even post a review.

This was not for me. This book is several short stories. I had a hard time getting involved.

[Michelle Tackabery · Rating 1 out of 5]

There are a lot of e-books out there featuring short stories purporting to be by Stephen King, the horror writer. This is NOT that Stephen King. Don't be fooled like I was.

[Nichole Stewart · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was duped into thinking this was going to be the real Stephen King. The R was so subtle. I feel like I waisted my money.

Most of the reviews I read were about this writer not being THE Stephen King. Hence the book is bad. It’s not fair. Yes I agree this particular book is not good at all. Not because the author is Stephen R King and not Stephen King. But because the stories are boring and confusing and not at all interesting. I have read other Stephen R King books and some are quite good. So give the writer a break please! As if THE famous Stephen King has not written some stupid stuff.

I knew this was not Stephen King. This author is stephen r king. That being said, I knew what I was getting into. Let me be honest. The book was free, and not am I glad. If this book is any indication of Stephen R Kong's writing style, it will definitely be my last. The first story was ok, barely. The others were stupid and seemed like they were thrown together. Thanks but no thanks

As many other reviews have stated, this is not the famous horror author, Stephen King. The book was written by Stephen R. King. I would personally give him the benefit of the doubt because Stephen is a fairly common name and so is the surname King, however, the way the book and name look is quite similar to Stephen King’s, the famous one, style.
All that being said, I rated the book based on the writing within it. I did like the first story. The second story was a crime drama and felt a little underwhelming to me. The third story had promise but there was an inconsistency that left me not liking it. The fourth story was in Lovecraft style and alright. The fifth story was a sci-fi and alright as well. Overall, it was alright but a bit underwhelming and jumped around with genres.

Enjoyable , yet GRAVE . . .

If you like horror and do not want to get INTO a long Novel , then these short stories are a RECOMMENDED READ! Some ARE a little lengthy,
but , that is the way it is . STEPHEN R. KING ... DID IT AGAIN !! Bring us some more ! ! ! !
I have become a true Stephen R. King fan ! His style is an easy-to-read , yet flowing and yet pungent writing style . VERY RECOMMENDED READING ! ! ! !

Terrible. I was mistaken in thinking this was a Stephen King short story collection - I found out the hard way when i was thinking that Stephen King seems to be off his game and then sw the author name properly. It is Stephen R King not Stephen King from Bangor Maine who wrote a lot of my fav books like The Stand, Shining etc.

Not bad

Well, either Stephen King wrote this while on a bender or someone NOT Stephen King wrote it and used his name fraudulently. There are too many grammatical and dialect errors in this otherwise decent book of short stories to belong to the King I've followed for years.But still amusing.

Not Stephen E King…

This is not Stephen E King. I can’t believe how many people are confused about who this author is! But that aside, I wasn’t real impressed. There were so many misspelled words and inappropriate words throughout the story. They were good story lines but when the story ends, it’s like it just stops in the middle of the story.

[Norma L Sangelo · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always, Mr.King delivers another page turner that keeps the reader on the edge of our seat

A quick, easy read that is completely entertaining from beginning to end. I only wish there were more stories to read in this collection

[Luigi · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was OK. I only bought it by accident, thinking it was a Stephen King book. I didn't read the last story, I had enough by then. I sometimes stick with books hoping they will get better. It didn't IMHO

[Laura Felty · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh Mr King

I have to say this is one of his books that did not WOW me like s many other f his works. A little too much science fiction or fantasy for my taste. It s an easy read. In true King fashion he paid attention to detail with description and you can even feel the oviance.

[David Best · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not Stephen King

When I downloaded this book I mistakenly thought it was SK.
But it is Stephen R King. And he is no where near SK is. I Could write scrap like this. Or a senior class writing assignment

[Florence Hughes · Rating 3 out of 5]

BE WARNED…This is NOT the real Stephen King and not close to his level of skill at drawing in the reader. I gave this book of short stories 3 stars but it was only meh. The last couple of stories were the best. I could’ve skipped the others.

[Eileen Trusty · Rating 1 out of 5]

Waste of time

Very disappointed. Maybe it's time Stephan King found a new
profession. All of his e-books have been less than I would expect from the ' master of horror'.

[Paul Cummins · Rating 5 out of 5]

How could you not love Stephen King

I love Stephen king! His books give me the best chills,every single time!! Love every one of his books! The end

[Mr. Will · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Steven King novel.......

Just another Steven King novel of course....I'm off to read another one! Grave Decisions was a very, very quick read!

[B.J. · Rating 3 out of 5]

No it's not the King , but not bad

Actually not too bad, kept me interested,will have to read more of his work ,before I decide. Well written ,quick read.

[Kathleenalford · Rating 3 out of 5]

These short stories were okay, but not Stephen King's best by any means. He is at his best with developing characters in long novels. The camera story was creative, but the others were no so much.

[Heather · Rating 2 out of 5]

Two good stories. Three not so good. Now that I know this isn’t THE Stephen King it makes sense.

[Jori · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like...WTF? I really didn't get where this book was going. It started off okay but quickly lost me. The stories were lackluster and really didn't seem to go anywhere. I am very disappointed

[gene underwood · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good read

I love Stephen king.
But, sometimes, the stories are more than my imagination can comprehend.
A couple of these stories for that category.

[MIKE OKELLEY · Rating 4 out of 5]

like most collections some good some not so. all quick reads when you just have a little time to read.

[Phyllis A. Whipple · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not one of his best

I usually love King's books, but I only liked this one. I will still buy more since I have faith.

[jill silverman · Rating 3 out of 5]

didn't like it at all.

[yolanda lee · Rating 1 out of 5]

Disappointing

I have no idea what I just read. Seems a bunch of stories he didn't bother to finish. Wasted my time.

[rich kreil · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good stories with exception of the Camera one. Editing could have done better.

[Virginia Fontaine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Considering I am a big fan of Stephen King and have read 95% of his books, I find this one wanting. The writing seems juvenile compared to his larger books. Hard for me to say something like this.
