Just read this book of short stories. I'd have to say, it's renewed my faith in King! Every story is good, with a couple being excellent! |

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

yeah, this was the last king book i picked up. seems like a lot of his novels these days aren't quite up to par, but i've never read a book of short stories by him that i didn't thoroughly enjoy. |
I still need to get around to picking this up. I'm finishing up Night Shift and have Duma Key and Under the Dome still in my pile, but for the most part I still need to get all of his 1990s/2000s stuff. Never seems like there's enough time though. |
I read that book last year & it is good, the story "N" actually genuinely put the scares up me! |
I stumbled upon the "N" video series on the web. |
I enjoyed Just After Sunset. I still think King is at his best with his short stories. My favorites were The Gingerbread Girl, N., and A Very Tight Place (which was my favorite of them all). |
