The last King book I read before this, was ‘Bag of Bones', which I absolutely loved. But this...the opening story, ‘Autopsy Room Four', was quite funny; the next one, ‘The Man in the Black Suit', could have been so much more, but still delivered a few chills. The title story was somewhat interesting, and ‘That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is In French' had an interesting idea...but none of them quite delivered the punch. I didn't read ‘The Little Sisters of Eluria', since I never gave a hoot about King's Dark Tower-series, and I read ‘Riding the Bullet' a couple of yeas ago, and couldn't bear going through it again...it's utter crap! Mr King has written a good deal of great books, but if you wanna read his short stories, go for ‘Night Shift' or ‘Skeleton Crew'. This one doesn't do him - or the readers - any justice.
