i have several family members that can't STAND stephen king, so i thought i'd try him out. i don't see why they're hatin! i enjoyed the short stories in this book, and i've got another short story collection from king to try, too. some of the stories were better than others, and i found the way he addresses his readers to be a little bit odd, but that's not why i got the book. some of the stories definitely spurned me to think, and some of them were a little spooky!

If you've only read Stephen Kings novels or seen his movies, you are missing out. His short stories are my favorite of all his writing. Even more than The Gunslinger. Although this is not my favorite collection of his (Night Shift is), it is one of his best books in my opinion. Read this and then read Night Shift!

Earlier in the year I read Stephen King's "Just After Sunset", a really enjoyable collection of some of his short stories. I ordered "Everything's Eventual" immediately after and was excited to get started reading it. Not all of King's stories are 5 stars but most of them are captivating, entertaining and, most importantly, scary. I found several of these stories to be really creepy and had a hard time putting the book down. In particular, "Riding the Bullet", in which a hitch hiking college student gets picked up by a corpse and " The Man in the Black Suit", in which a child encounters the Devil. A few of the stories (mainly "Everything's Eventual" and "1408") really demonstrate how creative a writer King is; some of his concepts are just so out there...yet, they really work. BTW, I had seen the movie for the story "1408" and wasn't particularly impressed. The story is much better than the movie. I'd recommend keeping this book by your bed and reading a story each night before bed. They are really fun.

A memorable collection of short stories by horror master Stephen King. King's writing generally tends either to emphasize human warmth and goodness or spine-tingling horror; this collection has a good mix of stories in each category, as well as a few that combine both.

I actually have found Stephen King is a better short story writer than novelist. This is a good book of short stories on various subjects. Remember, three of the four short stories in his Different Seasons collection were turned into great movies: Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption and Apt Pupil. Also, it's a good book to have when you don't feel like reading a full Bible length Stephen King book.

A mixed bag. Some stories are eerie, some require thought to figure out, and some are just plain scary. I'm amazed that King can write all of these types of horror stories.

14 short stories. A must-read for any Stephen King fan.

King is in terrifying top form with this collection of short stories. IOn this spine-chilling compilation, King takes the reader down a road less traveled in the blockbuster e-book "Riding the Bullet," bad table service turns bloody when you stop in for "Lunch at the Gotham Cafe," and terror becomes deja vu all over again when you get "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French" - along with eleven more stories that will keep you awake until daybreak. Enter a nightmarish mindscape of unrelenting horror and shocking revelations that could only come from the imagination of the greatest storyteller of our time.

Great collection of short stories. Gotta love Stephen King when he isn't babbling!

This was my first Stephen King book. I've seen most of his movies and enjoyed them. I wanted to read this collection because of the current movie, "1408."
I did not enjoy his writing. Maybe because this was a collection of short stories and I know I don't enjoy short stories. I know writing short stories is different than full-length novels. Maybe I will try a novel. I did, however, enjoy the personal Stephen King narrations that preceded and followed each story. I think I will look for non-fiction books written by Stephen King.

My favorite by far. I love Stephen King and these short stories were great. All the tales kept you on your toes. I couldn't put the book down.

A good book by Stephen King.

Quick short scary stories, just don't read them at night!

I LOVED this book! The stories are fresh, frightening and truly vintage-King. Anyone who has followed his career will enjoy this book of stories; they make you feel as though you're reading SK as a brand-new writer all over again.

Great if you love Stephen King...just the right mix of stories. With a nice bonus for Dark Tower junkies - one of Roland's adventures before "The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed..."

Splendid short stories.

It's a great book, filled with wonderful stories. If you like Stephen King's short stories, you'll enjoy this! It also has his ebook phenomenon "Riding the bullet" Included! Well worth the read!
