Great short stories. I'm usually not into very many short stories but King tends to know how to do it right. Here's each one rated individually:

1922 (4 stars) - guy kills his wife in order to get the land her family owns. Only it's not that simple. Things always come back to haunt you.

Big Driver (3.5 stars) - women is raped and looks for revenge. Well put together and keeps you entertained. Kind of a "been there, read that" story but still held well on it's own.

Fair Extension (4 stars) - this one was hard to rate. Probably because it was hard to read. Not that it was a bad read but the premise was kind of horrid. The guy in this story is dying of cancer. He happens across a street vendor out of nowhere and finds out he can make is life better but it will be at the expense of someone else and he has to pick that person.

A Perfect Marriage (5 stars) - My favorite of the book. This is about a happily married woman with 2 kids. Her husband of 27 years is a mild mannered accountant. But her husband has a secret and when she finds it out, her whole world changes.

Lovely book full of mixed emotions. Highly recommended.
