Just a gentle reminder that while he has written some great novels, King's strong point is his short stories. ( ) Reading through this it's amazing to note how far the stories are from their later movie adaptations. Lawnmower Man in particular is something else entirely. And Jerusalem's Lot is a pitch perfect Lovecraftian horror. King makes great fun out of the simplest of premises, like in The Ledge. You also get a sense of his recurring pet themes in The Mangler (technology run amok/possessed by evil). Very diverse collection, most of it is good. This is Stephen King's first short story collection published. It contains 20 stories. I had two that I did not like at all and five that I loved.
