Summary: great however Not Great
Comments: This book is a collection of short stories by the "Master of Short Stories." almost all of these are great and I wished they were longer. I found only a couple that I did not get into; hence 4 instead of 5 stars. Must read for all King fans!!

Summary: Just After Sunset is right for Just About Anytime
Comments: Simply Outstanding!! I would say that is my opinion of Mr. Kings newest collection of stories. I could not put this collection down. If you have enjoyed his other short story collections this effort will not let you down AT ALL. Some of my favs were:
Willa (A look at what might happen after we die)
Stationary Bike (A definate thrill ride for acid takers and non acid takers alike)
Graduation Afternoon (My favorite of all is a small glimpse at the moment a nuclear bomb is dropped on N.Y. -Go Sox- just do not look right into the blast)
N. (Just plain spooky)
While I enjoyed them all, these particular stories stood out among the rest. I feel with Just After Sunset, Mr. King has brought the entertainment value of his work back to the reading chair for us. Please do not forget to read his introduction and the Sunset Notes at the end of the collection for more tasty bits of King. well done Mr. King!! |

Summary: Keep the lights on all night with this one...
Comments: I haven't read any Stephen King short stories in a decade, just couldn't wait to get this book, and was not disappointed. As in his other recent work, King has shifted away from the flashy, ghoul-filled stuff to the inner horrors of personality, mental state and an unstable society. Sure, there are the elements of fantasy, however a lot of this stuff is scary because it could be true and could happen to you. There are 13 stories, ranging from the abduction of an obsessed runner (The Gingerbread Girl), to the nuclear annihilation of New York (Graduation Afternoon). Some are more original than others. My favorite was the last, "A Tight Place," where 2 guys escalate their revenge to the ridiculous. Haven't we all met some crazies like this?
Overall, this is a great set of stories and reflects King's further journey into the psychological horror of eday modern society. |
