![]() As I have found with previous collections of King's stories, there are usually a couple of standout pieces of writing, with the rest being so so. Perhaps this is why some of his tales in this collection of short stories seem a little lacklustre. Stephen King has said before that he has no control over the stories that emerge after he places his hands on a keyboard. Stories missing are: Children of the Corn, I Am the Doorway, Trucks and One for the Road.Ī mostly enjoyable collection from the Master The stories included are: The Boogeyman, I know what you did, Strawberry spring, Gray matter, The woman in the room, Battleground, Graveyard shift, The man who loves flowers, The last rung on the ladder, Night surf, Jerusalem's Lot, The Mangler, Sometimes they come back, The ledge, The Lawnmower Man, Quitters Inc and One for the Road. Chapters are not named which is very unfortunate. ![]() It's to be noted that this audiobook does not contain all the stories in the paperback. ![]() The scariest story is Sometimes They Come Back, the horror of bullies always touches me. My favorite story in the book is probably The Lawnmower Man - nothing to do with the movie - it's so absurd and almost hilarious instead of scary. What was one of the most memorable moments of Night Shift? ![]() Occasional sound effects seem a little out of place and old fashioned, just plain narration would be been adequate. John Glover is a great narrator, and suits King's style very well. Would you try another book from Stephen King and/or John Glover? ![]()
