– Everyone has read a few King books and seen a few of his movies. Nobody who reads his work at this point can say that they were surprised that his skill doesn't match his popularity, or complain that he's a middlebrow writer with a great sense of fantasy but little lasting literary value. No, he doesn't show us anything new, or teach us anything profound, or look at anything in a new and insightful way.
What he does is turn out hundreds of pages of horror stories every year. That's not a bad thing. He's a busy writer who keeps his fans happy. He turns out a pretty good horror story, and this anthology of short stories from across his long career is a nice one to have on the bedside table. Enjoy it for what it is, and you'll have a lot of fun.

«Merely by tickling the keys on his word processor King can make flesh creep half a world away. But where he differs from so many chill merchants is that his horror is rarely gratuitous and often informed with a wry humour»
