His latest book of short stories.
|
||
|
||
**MR. HARRIGAN’S PHONE**: I liked the concept of this story. The thought of a cell phone ringing in a casket 6 feet underground is creepy. The thought of getting a text message in response is worse.
|
||
|
||
**THE LIFE OF CHUCK**: I'm not sure I entirely got this one. I think I read somewhere that if references other works of his that I'm not familiar with.
|
||
|
||
**IF IT BLEEDS**: The best of the bunch, for sure. Not until I got to this story did I remember hearing about a reappearance of Holly Gibney. I'm glad I read the [[Reading List - The Outsider|The Outsider]] and the Bill Hodges trilogy ([[Reading List - Mr Mercedes|Mr Mercedes]], [[Reading List - Finders Keepers|Finders Keepers]] & [[Reading List - End of Watch|End of Watch]]. It makes this story make a lot more sense.

|
||
**RAT**: Started good and ended meh.
|
||
|
||
END NOTES: typical Stephen King lately: these really good stories ended with a shrug
