How could you not love this one, with stories like children of the corn, the lawnmower man (both of which had movies made of them that were exactly like the stories), and night surf, a great one for any fan of the stand. Im a sucker for all of King's short stories, something about all the power and disgustingness packed into just a few pages, amazing.
Good stuff, a good read. Has one of my favorite short stories in it.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I gave it a 3. Compared to other collections, this is about 3rd down the list.

Gave it a 3, too, but don't think will give any other collection anything different (except JAS, which is a clear 1)Originally Posted by BROWNINGS CHILDE

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

Skeleton Crew will get a 5 from me. But it is the only one.Gave it a 3, too, but don't think will give any other collection anything different (except JAS, which is a clear 1)

Come on, this contains some absolute classics!
The fact that it contains The Last Rung on the Ladder puts it in the 5 category. OK, the other great stories help too!
Tons of great stories indeed. The Lawnmower Man, The Ledge, Quitters, Inc., Night Surf, Children of the Corn, Trucks...
I'm surprised this is getting so few votes. It's one of my favorite King collections
Well, I'd vote again if I could!
Mine too, pablo.

Mine too, pablo.
I'm not trying to eke out more 5s or 4s, I just want it to get more votes, any votes. Come one people, in the immortal words of that brilliant persona of the 21st century, Paris Hilton, "Vote or Die"!
I think it's time for you to put that back up in your sig, pablo. It's time.

You think? You asked for it... To find it now...
I added a little something to mine too. Nothin as cool as yours, I don't want to overshadow it or anything.

It definitely does. It's my favorite of his short story collections.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
