I’m finding that I don’t love short story collections as much as King's longer works. They don't always hold my attention, and while they are always worth the time, they often lack staying power compared to his novels. The further we get into King’s career, the more these collections feel hit-or-miss for me.
That said, there are some absolute standouts here. The Mist is a classic, but Gramma was the highlight - wonderfully creepy and exactly the kind of atmospheric horror I'm looking for.
If you're a King fan, it’s a required stop on the journey, but this isn't one I'll revisit in totality. Gramma.. that I'd reread.
