The Jaunt is incredible. I've hardly ever read something where the backstory, especially in a short story, is so utterly atmospheric and beguiling. When it switched back to the main action I was jolted, then that damn

[sabertoothproductions]

Has anyone ever noticed that most Stephen King short story collections have night involved in their title. Night shift, nightmares and dreamscapes, four past midnight, just after sunset, full dark no stars, and the bazaar of bad dreams.

[Lovegun.]

I forgot he wrote Apt pupil, ! Love that story. Movies very good too!

[jameseubanks]

Oh yeah! Was waiting for “The Mist” that’s one of my favorites too, a cassette tape in Binural sound was very creepy! The product placement in that drama was great!

[seanplace]

Dolan’s Cadillac is one of my favorite ever short stories! Love how methodical it is.

[tomermoskowitz]

Nice list! Was a bit disappointed that The Last Rung on the Ladder from Night Shift didn't make it. Beautiful writing and one of my favorite stories ever.

[danchallis]

The Langoliers is my favorite story I’ve read from Stephen King so far. Total page turner. 🤘🏼🧔🏻

[WindmillMusic]

Dude! Of course The Mist is #1 but Loangoliers, The Jaunt, and Mrs. Todd's Shortcut. RIGHT ON! My 4 faves.

[moriahparr]

Grey Matter not even on the list?! I love hearing everyone's top picks, he's written so much that everyone's favorites are all over the place

[erikaeriksson]

Four Past Midnight was my first Stephen King book. I got it from my parents for my 13th birthday after nagging about it for weeks. I just loved it! ❤ The Langoliers were my favourite. I still to this day read everything this man writes. I really hope that all the short stories he has already written that aren't already released in books gets collected in books in the future. It would be such a treat with some short stories I might have missed.

[mrd]

I have so much love for King's short Sci-fi stuff.

[Neat_o]

I loved your list of his best novels. Now this. Great video dude. You’re very well spoken.
I have to say that his best short story is the mist. That story just blew me away and messed me up lol.

[jordanix]

Was worried when The Jaunt wasn't getting mentioned, glad to see it so high. One of those stories that just really creeped me out when I read it.

[TheRamsesII]

And here I am again. Don't know whether my list would be ranked the same, but it's been so long since I've read most of these that now I want to read them again. Thanks for this....

[maxgerdesmeyer]

The Jaunt scared the shit out of me when I was a few years younger. My father told me about it and I sat there the whole night, imagining how that trip would’ve looked. Not “scary” in the traditional way, but because I could relate really well to the main character, this story made me think so much.

[jackraiser]

Man I envy you. You have almost all of King's books. Awesome.

[matthewgossett]

I was surprised you didn’t add The Library Policeman or The Kindle. Four Past Midnight is my favorite short story collection and TLP was a great horror story. The kindle has an important tie in with The Dark Tower series and I thought that would be enough to get on the list.

[kaylasmith]

hearts in atlantis is hands down by favorite book of all time. legit didn't even realize it was a collection of short stories/novellas until just now--that's how engaging of a read it was for me.

[EarthenDemon]

I actually thought the Mist story had a darker ending than the movie. The movie implied the world was saved, whereas the book implied the world ended.
