Night Shift

Jerusalem's LotThis was good, but I prefer my ‘Salem's Lot with vampires. 3/5 Graveyard Shift Pretty much all I could think of was: Still, there is a lot of effective imagery here. 3/5Night SurfI really love [b:The Stand 87591651 The Stand Stephen King https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1674820514l/87591651.SX50.jpg 1742269] so this one worked for me. 3/5I Am the DoorwayDidn't dig this at the beginning, but then it got pretty spoopy. 3.5/5The Mangler“It tried to fold everything.” ABSOLUTELY NOPE! A silly premise executed so well. 3.5/5The BoogeymanVery eerie and so sad...4.5/5Gray Matter4/5BattlegroundAnother silly one with a fun finale, 3/5TrucksStephen King was really all about inanimate objects turning on us in this collection. Very creepy final line, though - he's so good at wham lines. 3/5Sometimes They Come BackNot a huge fan of the constant fridging of women or the kitty death in this one, but otherwise it was great. 4/5Strawberry SpringPredictable ending but the atmosphere in this one is chef's kiss 3/5The LedgeAgain, not a fan of the fridgingbut still compelling. 3.5/5The Lawnmower ManI mean it's probably better than the movie, but this one just didn't land for me. I think I'd just be grateful that someone was mowing the lawn and not question anything else tbh 2/5Quitters, Inc.This one was okay; I don't have a lot to say about it. 3/5I Know What You NeedThere was a lot of good build up in this, and a decent amount of tension, but then it just...fizzled out. 2.5/5Children of the CornVicky deserved better, she was being very reasonable and Burt can kick rocks. But overall, very creepy. 3.5/5The Last Rung on the LadderOh gosh, so good and so sad. 3.5/5The Man Who Loved FlowersThis was another one that was just fine, nothing super memorable. 3/5One for the RoadUgh, I just love ‘Salem's Lot. 3.5/5The Woman in the RoomWhen I initially finished this, I didn't think it was the strongest finish; however, I think I will adjust my rating because it was quite good (and so, so sad). 3.5/5Overall, a generally consistently good collection with some King classics. 4 possessed bits of technology with a lust for blood out of 5.
