Good to know that SK got his mojo back. I’ll wait a bit till I get it, but definitely going to be sooner than planned 😝 thanks for the great overview!

[jasong]

I really enjoyed your video and the way you talk about the stories thanks.

[DogEaredPage]

I can’t decide but I’d say our lists are pretty aligned! His afterword made me cry, too 🙈

[HakimALIGHT]

Interesting take. Thanks for the review.

The Answer Man was my favorite, although the beginning was a little rough until he first met the answer man. Maybe that owes to how long ago he first wrote that first part. I got bored with Rattlesnakes towards the end. I’ve read too much of the haunted object trope from King over the years. I enjoyed Laurie but the nothing much of an ending disappointed me. I think he ran out of steam and just put a cap on it. I read Red Screen back when it was first published and totally forgot what it was about. For me, that was the best of the really short ones.

Excellent review! I concur! I loved The Answer Man!

Holly was good to but you had to read Mr. Mercedes trilogy & the outsider to understand.

[fabes]

My faves were

1. Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream (This could have been sold as it own short novel like Later.)
2. Rattlesnakes (As odd as it was, it stuck with me.)
3. On Slide Inn Road (This is realistic and scary in its own rights)

Honorable mention: The Answer Man (it really hit me as a father...that is all I will say)

[morgar]

My ratings were fairly similar:

Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream (99%)
Rattlesnakes (98%)
Laurie (98%)
The Answer Man (96%)
On Slide Inn Road (90%)
Wille the Weirdo (90%)
The Fifth Step (89%)
Two Talented Bastids (86%)
The Turbulence Expert (84%)
The Dreamers (78%)
Red Screen (78%)
Finn (68%)

[BookishDrummer]

least favorite was definitely Red Screen, super short, starts off great, but wish it would have went a bit further

[BookishDrummer]

I would ALMOST agree with you, except I love Revival and If It Bleeds a bit more

[morgar]

I agree with most of your opinions about this book… but I loved Cujo!

[brandonhannick]

My Mercedes bro that was 10 years old. That’s a good trilogy
