![]() Herman Wouk is Still Alive: King at his best in creating characters from all walks of life and getting you into their heads. Ur: Fun story, the ability to see things we shouldn’t which we all imagine. Morality: Once again kids aren’t safe, though here its the involved adults who ultimately pay. Its short enough that you lift this to tell around the campfire, and get some chuckles.īad Little Kid: this is one of those King stories that make certain people or groups cluck their tongues. ![]() The Dune: The last line makes this story. ![]() King has no qualms about putting kids in mortal danger from Carrie, Cujo, and Pet Cemetery through to today’s books. Mile 81: classic King kids discover a car from hell. A few of my favorite stories from Bazaar: A variety of styles, degrees of horror and lack thereof, and the occaisonal ‘payoff’ ending that can make the story one long written joke with a great punchline, or an ending that would be too abrupt and never work in a novel or novella. Just plain old fun! What I love about this collection is similar they are to that original style. A King short story will take you back to the days of Ray Bradburry Theater, Tales from the Darkside, or the Twilight Zone. ![]() King shortstories are just plain fun, even ones filled with horrible events, a short story just doesnt get that character empathy so horrible outcomes aren’t as startling. I started reading King novels in the 80’s as a teen, and loved his short story collections as well. ![]()
