This is a great collection of short stories and being a Stephen King fan and now read most of his works, I can say that he never falters on keeping his constant readers happy. I really enjoyed "The Road Virus Heads North", for you can feel the terror as it builds. I myself have written a short story book "A Fire's Shadow by John Henry Clark" that was released in June 09 and have had feed backs of the same type. This is the best thing for an author. Knowing that someone really enjoyed their work and felt compelled to write about it. Stephen has a new book coming out in Nov. Keep up the great work and I recommend this for anyone who reads. Yours ever after, John Henry Clark
Compelling to read, fourteen Dark Tales....includes one O. Henry Prize winner, two other award winners, four stories published by The New Yorker, and "Riding the Bullet," King's original e-book, which attracted over half a million online readers and became the most famous short story of the decade.

Wow, what a great read! This is a great collection of scary stories from mind of Stephen King. One story imparticular gave me goosebumps...and I've read a lot of scary stories! I can't tell you which one it is either! :) The stories do vary to keep things interesting. If you have not read this book, or are somewhat new to King's writing, this would be a good one to start with. Due to the excitement of reading the book, I thought the same would be felt listening to the CD Audiobook. This was not the case. Although it was still a good listen, especially on a long drive, the emotion that was felt when reading the book was different than what was being heard by someone else. So, thats just something to keep in mind, not particularly promoting one over the other, but if I had to choose I would choose the book.Read full review
I found this book to have a great way just to sit down and read for an hour and be completely absorbed in a story. Stephen King has a great way of bringing the reader into the story and seeing something that we see every day and changing it into something far more horrific. He goes way beyond the box. It is fun to change your way of reading into something and making it far more exciting and this is what you are going to get with this book many times over.
Great item thanks
