im a security guard for a parking lot so essentially all i do is read (parking lots can generally take care of themselves and as long as i can hear the tinkling of broken glass were good)
anyway for the last three months I've been on a short story bender, finished 'different seasons' and decided i wanted to complete my collection so I picked this up in paperback at my local book trade in place (bookmans on grant and cambell in tucson arizona)
fantastic bunch of work!
thank you mr king for continuing to write a couple of these every year
I canhoneslt ysay that i agree there really is nothing quite like sitting with a good story i can finish in one sitting with a drink (in my case water)

my all time favorite story in the book was the Man in the Black Suit ! it was just amazing, i love how the story was told and the suspense of it all. Autopsy in room four was great also, i love how you can still have some humor going, even though the guy's about to be cut up :laugh:. and how they figure out he's still alive is great as well!

It's one of my Stephen King favorites. I especially enjoy the story the book is named after. It wasn't my favorite on first reading but whenever I read it again I find that it tickles my imagination on more levels than I thought were possible. I guess you could say it's what the story doesn't tell that intrigues me and in a way... Well, this is part of the charm I find in Stephen King's short stories. I liked Under the Dome's 880 pages of fine reading, but a good short story is a sip that leaves you thirsty and slaked at the same time.

"That Feeling,You Can Only Say What It Is In French" was one of my faves in the collection. I found it the scariest, imagining myself in a perpetual circle of repeated events, only just recognising at the very end that I had done it before. I am (purely) guessing it is what Stephen King interprets as Hell, to be stuck in an endless circle of events, knowing you are unhappy and questioning what you have done with your life, until the terrifying realisation strikes that you have been experiencing De Ja Vu for eternity....

I also loved it. A few years ago I tried to read this and couldn't get into it. This time I forced myself to go on and I couldn't put it down.
