The Wedding Gig: A Roaring 20's style, noir-feeling, story - a shift in style from King's usual setting and feel. 4.5stars
Paranoid: A Chant: A 100 line poem. The first stand-alone King poetry I've encountered. Experimental King? Not sure yet how to rate it. Will definitely require re-reading (•᷄ᴗ•́ ).

Finished “The Reach”, where Stella goes out into the snowy night and has a magical time on The Reach.

what the story lacks in narrative flow, it makes up for that with a surprising amount of magical whimsy that the other stories in the collection lacked (which isn’t a bad thing, as the stories relied on menacing things to give readers the chills). So, this story is one of the lightest entries.

Rating: 7/10

Started reading the final story “The Reach” in which several people are explored.

I do feel that this story is the most unfocused of the bunch, but it still has its merits, like the use of flashbacks & the way the story shifts POVs to people around the town.

The Jaunt Absolutely terrifying! Twilight Zone style ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♥︎
[(¬_¬") Let's just forget this is also the way dictators like to get rid of political dissidents (๑﹏๑//).]
