The Kingster Does It Again! This book is EXCELLENT!

I've been a fan of Stephen K since I was 14, and like I said, these stories are EXCELLENT!!!!! My favorites? Hard to choose, but here are some standouts.
POPSY -- About a kindly old grandpa who happens to be a VAMPIRE.
RAINY SEASON - B-Movie style horror with that classy Stephen K spark that makes it anything BUT B-Grade
THE HOUSE ON MAPLE STREET about a family of young'uns who plan to do away with their Stepfather from Hell
SORRY RIGHT NUMBER - A television play about a woman who gets a very strange phone call
CHATTERY TEETH - About a novelty toy that's not as innocent as it looks.
YOU KNOW THEY HAVE A HELL OF A BAND - I think I may like this one best of all. Clark and Mary are married sweethearts who stumble into a town populated with and run by departed rock stars!!!! COOL beans!!!! Wish he'd expand this one into a novel or a screenplay. It's rated G for GREAT and X for X-CELLENT!!!!
I wish I could give this book 10 stars! I think I may need a new copy soon. I'm wearing mine out from re-reading it so much!

Tim Curry reading Stephen King....Heaven!!!

Wow - this is a dream - Tim Curry reading a Stephen King book. What a perfect combination! I adore both Mr. Curry and Mr. King. I very rarely listen to audio books unless Mr. Curry reads them, so I read the book version of Nightmares & Dreamscapes first, and as with most of Stephen King's books, thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish Mr. Curry read the entire collection, but alas, the audio book is still wonderful with a diverse selection of readers. Classic Stephen King, with some scary, some hilarious, and some downright terrifying stories...

Bittersweet dreams

This book is a whole lotta fun. As the title aptly hints, the twenty short stories range from horrific to twisted comedy, and everything encompassed therein. The nods to classic horror writers are subtley imbedded within the stories (except for "Crouch End", where the LoveCraft Cthulu mythos is treated to a starkly terrifying modernization).
The inner workings stories such as "Dolan's Cadillac" and "The House of Maple Street" carry a Ray Bradbury 1960's pulp air to them, while stories like "Rainy Season" and "Suffer the Little Children" will just leave you afraid to turn out the light.
The two crown gem stories found in here, "The Moving Finger" and "The 10'o'clock People", are worth the price of the book alone.
Reader's beware, the tongue in the cheek experienced during reading will be replaced by the monster in the closet as soon as the lights go out. 'Nuff said.

Good "Old-Fashioned" Shivery Tales, and then some

Nobody tells an old fashioned hair-raiser like King does.
And he tells plenty of them in this fat volume of not-too-short short stories.

For those who like his more "mainstream" stuff, there's a selection of stories included that have less of the supernatural elements. A good read, all around.
