    Straight B's. King's first collection, but certainly not his best.

    Me and pablo think alike on this one.
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    I've read most, but not all of the stories. So, in fairness, I had to vote never read. But, on the quality of the stories that I have read, this was not a very memorable collection for me.

    The Cat from Hell that was finally included in Just After Sunset would be a good fit here. And perhaps also The Night of the Tiger and A Man With a Belly. But oh well...
