I often prefer King's short story collections to his novels (though many of those are quite good too) and this collection is no exception. He really is a masterful story teller and these four stories (2 with female narrators) are amazing. They are all dark, one is a bit funny, some are creepy, and one made me cry. I am impressed by how well he wrote two stories from female perspectives and how truly they rang even when tackling issues like marriage and sexual violence from the female perspective. I got my copy from the library and back it goes tomorrow to pass onto the next lucky reader. I wish he wrote more short story collections as I always enjoy them immensely.
