Finished ‘The Woman in the Room’
This one was alright, more emotional than anything. Also quite confusing for the first two pages. Not much to this one. 2.5/5

Finished ‘The Man Who Loved Flowers’
Not much too this one. Best part about it was the dreamy, nostalgic atmosphere. I believe SK can write that in his sleep. Nice twist ending too. 3/5

Finished ‘The Last Rung of the Ladder’
This one has all the charm of a dark, nostalgic tale told from the perspective of a man looking back at his childhood. So atmospheric, you really feel like you’re in the barn with Larry and Kitty. 4/5

Finished ‘Children of the Corn’
This is classic SK, I think everyone’s at least heard the title to this one. Super creepy, there’s a reason this one is popular. 5/5

Finished ‘I Know What You Need’
King knocked these short stories out of the park. All of them are unique and interesting. All of them are spooky in their own way. He was in his element writing this stuff back in the day, that much is clear. 4/5 for this one

Finished ‘Quitters Inc.’
This one was really good, maybe the best so far. Stephen King’s take on cigarette addiction, and really any addiction honestly. 5/5

Finished ‘The Lawnmower Man’
This is another one I’d heard about before starting this collection of short stories. Some stories make you wonder how SK comes up with some of this stuff. This one is sick and creepy. 3.5/5

Finished ‘The Ledge’
This one was insaneee. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. So good, and the ending was fantastic. Fireee. 5/5

Finished ‘Strawberry Spring’
Loved this one. Super atmospheric and creepy. Really good ending too, also a quick read. Only nine pages. 5/5

Finished ‘Sometimes They Come Back’
Not even sure what to say about this one, gave IT vibes. Very unique. Superrr creepy ending and was not expecting it at all. 4.5/5
