I remember that this book scared the bejesus out of my when I read it int 8th grad. It wasn't so bad no, but I still had weird dreams a few nights after reading it. LOL I even had to read it between other books because after awhile it would be too much and I'd get to creeped out or spooked from a few of the stories and would need a change of pace.

While reading this, it never fails to amaze me though, that after all the years of reading Stephen King, that's he's one of the few authors that can make me laugh, cry or want to curl up in fetal position and suck my thumb! He's just amazing!

A hefty tome of short stories, not all of them of the horror genre. I was surprised at the science fiction aspects of many of the stories. The first story, The Mist, was quite good and will be adapted as a movie in late 2007.
