Best Short Story Collection

**michal** · October 5th, 2009

The best thing about story collection I think is that you get soooo many good stories for the price of one book. I wouldn't want to decide, or, to be more accurate - I just tried and had a different answer each time I remembered another story. Just read them all I say.

I think my favorite overall book was Skeleton Crew. It had so many awsome stories like The Mist, The Monkey, The Janut, The Reaper's Image, Survior Type, Uncle Otto's Truck, Gramma, and Mrs. Todd's Shortcut. My favorite short story (SO FAR)

Sorry hit wrong button and it submitted it. My favorite story is N out of Just After Sunset, but there were only a couple of other stories that I really liked. I Night Shift I liked Jerusalem Lot, Graveyard Shift, The Mangler, The Boogeyman, The Ledge, Quitters Inc., and One for the Road. My favorites out of Everythings Eventual are Autopsy Room 4, The Man in the Black Suit (one of the best ever), The Little Sister of Eluria (even though I haven't read the Dark towers series I like this one), and The Road Virus Head's North. I boughth this one because I wanted to read 1408 and it was good but not the best in the book. I am now reading Nightmares and Dreamscapes so I won't say what is my favorite in that until I am done!

When you do read them let us know which you enjoyed best. I like 'em all.

well my two favourites are Night Shift, cos the stories are really entertaining, and Just After Sunset, cos they all seem to be.. a new burst of life in King's writing.

So far Ive only read Night Shift and about a quarter of Nightmares and Dreamscapes (this one got me into Kings writings, picked it up as i was awaiting a new novel from Terry Brooks) I loved Night Shift, and am currently caught up in The Dark Tower series. It may be some time before i can rate the short story collections, but I do own them all and look forward to them.

Iam not sure I have a favorite collection .but do have several favorite short stories. So it is hard for me to narrow down. My favorite short story is Trucks.

I've read many short story collections over the years and I always had a problem a couple years down the road remembering which ones were my favorites. A long time ago I started rating stories from 1-5 and marking them in the table of contents so if I ever wanted to go back and re-read one I liked, I could find them. So I looked at my SK short story books and Skeleton Crew has the most 5's.
