Just like the roadside automobile service.........AAA
While re-reading these stories now, I remember having nightmares as a young kid when I would read these before I went sleep. What a classic collection!
BBB, sorry folks but this one was kinda weak on the stories for me, but not as weak as Night Shift was. At least it had The Mist to save it, I can't name another story from this book though I do remember they were ok.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.

This was one of the first King books I read, and I totally love it. Every reread makes it that much better. All A's.
"People, especially children, aren't measured by their IQ. What's important about them is whether they're good or bad, and these children are bad." ~ Alan Bernard
"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
Are you kidding? This has tons of classics! "Nona", "Survivor Type", "The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet", "Word Processor of the Gods", "The Jaunt" just to name a few.
I really loved only Here There Be Tygers and The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet

Giving it a BBB.
As is typical of a large collection some were better in certain ways, some worse, some less or more memorable etc...
I haven't read this book yet.

Patrick, since you said you're now reading Just After Sunset, I think you should start on Skeleton Crew right after!
yes... as an antidote...

AAA.
Skeleton Crew was my first King book, and it is still one of my absolute favorites.
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
It's great to see this book receive only four Cs overall. It's a really great collection.
