Da piccolo sono stato un grande amante del primi King, in particolare questa raccolta di racconti è uno dei suoi migliori, in poche pagine riesce a terrorizzarti... in particolare il racconto “baubau” è assolutamente SPAVENTOSO!
Quick thoughts: What can I say. A collection of some of the finest horror shorts I have read. The wide range of genres and excellent story telling will have you devouring each one.
Here are all the individual updates:
Story 1 of 20: “Jerusalem's Lot” - What a fun, brooding, spooky tale featuring a family home and a town with a dark past. LOVED the letter writing perspective and the church sequences. (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
Story 2 of 20: “Graveyard Shift” - A deceptively fun story that quite literally creeps up on you at the end. Stay out of the basement!
I'm not into short story collections in general, but this was a good read. One can take a break from more challenging reading with books like this, or by "killing time" when you're waiting for the fifth one in the office.
Of the collection, I liked Quitters, Inc. and The Ledge the best, they seemed the closest to reality of all the stories. I'd have to say the Battlefield was the most boring. So far so good for a first King story, next time I'll tackle the author's more familiar work.
