“Reader’s Review”

【Uncle Stevie has a new collection of short stories to enjoy】

【”This book is another example of why I think Stephen King is the master when it comes to short stories. I love most of his books but his short stories showcase his talent (IMO). I started reading it yesterday and I can’t put it down! Appropriately creepy and strange, each story is unique.

Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream is more a medium story than short story but it’s my favorite so far. Danny is easy to relate to and the story line draws you in immediately. I read it while at the beach yesterday and this is the prefect beach book!! If you are a Stephen King fan, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!”】

【As usual, SK did not disappoint me. Like all other times, I have been waiting for this book since it was announced and it is great writing: gripping, funny, sad, enthralling … you recognise yourself in the characters but most of all you recognise the “horror” present in our everyday lives. SK’s storytelling is not about distant ghosts and dreams but it describes our own fears and hopes … the ordinary ones. This is what makes his storytelling so true and absolutely amazing. THIS IS A MUST READ】

【I’ll admit I’m biased — as both a Maine native and a third-generation King fan — but even objectively, these are really fascinating tales. I devoured this like a succulent meal; my only regret is that it couldn’t last longer.】

【…one of the many Constant Readers. Stephen King has been, since I first read The Stand, my Constant Companion on so many journeys. He has been my guide through the many landscapes of fear, wonder, despair and triumph. These stories are no exception.】

【I read Carrie back in 1971. I’ve been hooked ever since and rarely disappointed. I know we’re getting old, but you keep writing and I’ll keep reading! They better cremate my Kindle with me!

I’m only 6 pages in and they are slipping right out of the book. Will be returning!】

【Just as amazing as all his other books】

【This is the best one of the last few books he has released, imho. All of the stories are wonderful. Each and every one. Rattlesnakes was my favorite. Very well played, Mr. King, I’ll bet Cujo becomes a best seller again! Fellow Constant Readers will really enjoy this book, it felt like coming home to Uncle Steve’s house after a long time away.】
