Older Stephen King

I have had this book on my bookshelf for quite awhile now - not usually being a fan of shortstories - I had received it as a gift and never read it. Yet, when I started I was completely mystified (as I always am by King) and couldn't put it down.

I agree with an earlier reviewer that said that 'Secret Window, Secret Garden' gave him or her the 'Bag of Bones' feel. I felt similarity also with 'The Langoliers' and the first short story in 'Hearts in Atlantis'. I love the subtitle things used on every chapters beginning...I wish he had used them in all the stories.

This was much better reading in my opinion than 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes' and 'Different Seasons'. Maybe this writing came from a transitional period in Kings life....all the stories had the same sort of 'feel' to them which is a good thing for me. There was a continuity that kept me wanting to see how the next story was going to be similar somehow.

If you are reading this review to see if you should read the book - you should if you are part of Stephen King's Constant Reader-ship. You wont be disapointed. - an Amazon customer review
