Finished the 9th story today, “Trucks.” The 1980s movie Maximum Overdrive is based off of this story. I found it interesting and scary. I hate the idea of our vehicles coming alive, yuck. I give this 3.5 stars.

Just finished the 8th story, "Battleground." I really liked this story; it gave me Toy Soldier vibes. I wish there was a longer version for this one. 5 stars.

Just finished story number 7, "Gray Matter." This story was ok, a little creepy and good writing. I did enjoy the It reference. I rate this one 3.5.

Finished the 5th story, “The Mangler”. This story grossed me out and literally terrified me. The descriptions he uses for this story made me feel like I was really seeing it all. Definitely a 5 star story.

Just finished the fourth story, "I Am the Doorway." This story was wild, especially for only being 13 pages. It grossed me out and terrified me all in one. I'm giving this story 4.5.

Finished the third story in this book, "Night Surf". I believe this story goes with his book "The Stand", which terrified me as a kid. I did not like Bernie and maybe you're not supposed to. I feel like this story hits different now that the world has lived through COVID. I think I am giving this story a 3.

Just finished the second story "Graveyard Shift". This story is super creepy. The way Mr., King describes the rats towards the end of the story might stick with me for a long time. I give this story 4 stars.

Just finished the first short story “Jerusalem’s Lot”. This is a prequel to Salems lot, which I read so many years ago and honestly don’t remember a lot of it. I will say I really liked this story and it made me want to re-read Salem’s Lot. I give this story 5 stars.
