I’m gonna read a few of the stories that are 20 pages or less that I can knock out today. I started off with For Owen which is a one-page poem about his son going to school….with fruit….yeah King should stick to prose. Poetry ain’t his strong suit. Then I read Here There Be Tygers and…no. So far, these two things are the worse things I read from King so far. Cain Rose Up is next.

Finished The Wedding Gig. It was better than what I’ve read so far, but there was no real payoff. The story takes place in the 1930s and the narrator notes that those that are different (black people, grossly obese women) go through some real mess that he can never understand and he feels he can’t do anything about it. BLAH!!!! Where’s the horror?!!??? I WANT HORROR DAMMIT!!!

Finished Cain Rose Up. Didn’t like that was either. Maybe the stories I’m picking are TOO short? They are less than 10 pages. Next up is The Wedding Gig. That one’s 17 pages and will be the last story for the day.
