"a short story is like a quick kiss in the dark from a stranger. []but kisses can be sweet, & their very brevity forms their own attraction. Writing short stories hasn't gotten easier for me over the years; it's gotten harder.[]The thing to do is keep trying, I think. It's better to keep kissing & get your face slapped a few times than it is to give up altogether."
A bit of wisdom, 1980's style, from The King!

I'm excited to start with this one when its turn comes up. For the moment my next on in pub order is The Running Man.

Oooo, you're bound to enjoy The Running Man! It's one of the four stories in the original edition of The Bachman Books: Four Early Novels by Stephen King, and one that I found to be the most satisfying of the four👍.
So far my fav Bachman book is The Long Walk.
