Night Shift is my favorite King collection. Some of my favorite short stories are in it. The Last Rung on the Ladder is my favorite short story of all time, regardless of author.

5! "The Last Rung Of The Ladder" is not only my favorite King story, but my favorite story.

Really surprised (pleasantly) how well this book is going!

[Jean]

I voted "good" because of the two novelettes, which are good. The stories mostly left me indifferent. The Boogeyman was excellent, but the rest of them good at best, and mainly average.

Gotta thank my Dad for giving me this book in '79. It was my first King material and I couldn't put it down.

Gave it a 4. Not my favorite collection, (That was Skeleton Crew) but it is next in line.

I've read a number of stories in this book, but there are plenty I haven't. Based on your comments above, I think I need to fill in the gaps.

Yes... agreed. Likely my favorite collection too but a close call with Different Seasons.
