Somehow, the publisher needed to make money, I guess. I expected more than a paragraph or two from Stephen King, but that is all we get in this book, which republishes several King tales. Having said that, if you haven't read the actual Children of the Corn, the story behind Hearts in Atlantis the film, Shawshank Redemption, 1408, or the Mangler, you are in for a real treat. If you've read one of these and not all, then, again, this is worth reading. I hadn't read the Mangler or 1408 or the backstory for Hearts in Atlantis. And, the book is WORTH just one or two stories, regardless.

If you are a Stephen King fan, or just someone who likes compelling stories, this is for you! It is fun to read King's "take" on the films that were made from his stories, even if these are short snippets.
