Helpful Score: 1
I absolutely love this collection and can't wait to have it permanently. Almost all the stories are classic, undeniable Stephen King at his best. Whether it be the emotional and tragic "Last Rung On The Ladder", the chilling and terrifying "The Mangler" or the creepy crawly goodness of "Night Shift" king delivers. I don't keep many audio books but when I get my hands on this I'm keeping it!

(This review is of the audio version of the book.)

Good adaptation. I had read Night Shift a zillion years ago, so I knew the stories; the audiobook was to keep me awake & alert while driving to & from work. The reading was by John Glover, a character actor who was big in the 1980s and 1990s -- see here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001278/

Glover is a good voice actor; the stories cover a broad range from King's early career, so some gross/icky, some spooky, some more thoughtful, and he did a good job with all of them.

I disagree with the review below that said King's early works pale in comparison with his latter stuff. Most reviewers seem to think he was putting out much better (and much less unnecessarily verbose) work early on.
