One of my favorite collections. "Nona", "Survivor Type", "The Raft", "The Jaunt", "The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet", and of course "The Mist"... I can just go on. Gems all!

[Tito_Villa]

Yup a fantastic collection ... 5!!!

[Daghain]

Another 5 here! Loved it!

[Jean]

4

The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet alone would have been 5+

[divemaster]

I wavered between 4 and 5, 4 and 5, and eventually went with 4. Some GREAT stories (but not all of them); to me King's second best short-story anthology.

I'm hungry!

This is my favorite collection of shorts from King. Gramma is my favorite from this one, but I also loved The Mist, The Raft, Survivor type, Ballad of the Flexible Bullet and several others.

The only stories that I just hated were the Milkman stories. uugh.

[Sam]

I gave this one a 4. Some hits, and one or two misses.

[Mrs. Underwood]

This is basically my favorite short story collection of his, so I had to give it a 5. :)
