Finished ‘Battleground’
This one was a little too goofy for me. Entertaining to read + a pretty cool ending but not one I’ll read again. The main character was super interesting and I would’ve liked to see him used in a better story. Oh well. 2.5/5

Finished ‘Trucks’
SK once said that he likes to write about what he fears. At this point I’m convinced SK has a fear of vehicles. He’s written too many novels/short stories about menacing cars, trucks, and the like. This one was really good. A very interesting take on the apocalypse. Very entertaining from start to finish. 4.5/5

Finished ‘Gray Matter’
This one was great, written from first person with a rather unique voice. The imagery in this one was super vivid. This is an interesting take on the affects of alcoholism. Also the ending was perfect, super creepy. Might be my favorite so far from ‘The Night Shift’ 4.5/5

Finished ‘The Boogeyman’
This one was simple and eerie. I thought it could’ve been creepier, but still good. It’s about as baseline a horror story as the title makes it sound. 3/5

Finished ‘The Mangler’
This is one of the most well known stories out of this collection. A possessed industrial laundry machine. Talk about unique. This one was simple, effective, and as I said, unique. I enjoyed it. 3.5/5

Finished “I Am The Doorway”
I’m thoroughly enjoying these old King stories. His writing was so much creepier when he was younger. This one has to do with a parasitic alien. So so creepy and really enjoyable. He always impresses me with his first person prose. 4.5/5

Finished ‘Night Surf’
This one was oddly emotional. A side story taking place i. The same world as ‘The Stand’. This one was really short but so captured the end of the world apocalyptic feeling in an unsettling, bittersweet kind of way. 3.5/5

Finished ‘Graveyard Shift’
SK is 2/2 on the scares in this collection so far. You can easily tell this is older King, it’s refreshing. If you’re afraid of rats steer clear of this one. Super unsettling, read it in one sitting. 4/5

Finished ‘Jerusalem’s Lot’
Despite the title, the story of this one had little to do with Salem’s Lot, though it was still good. Super super creepy so bonus points for that one. I would say it’s a bit dense but I think that’s just the fault of the formatting of the copy of Night Shift I have. One of SK’s scarier short stories. 4.5/5
