    Default A wonderful revisit

    I found a copy of Skeleton Crew in a charity shop and decided to read those stories that I havnt read for years and it was just as much of an experience this time as the first time. The Mist and the Monkey are my favourites. I do recommend rereading SKs work after a few years fantastic !!!!

    I have a well-worn copy myself. I never get tired of it. SK's short stories are terrific.

    I love SC--- all the short story collections. I am in a loop of rereading, glad i do not have 100% super memory.... I find fore some reason re reading Kings work easier and beneficial versus most others...

    So much i s there and tied into the DT Books. I usually pick up things on every re-read.

    Just re-read all the story collections, first re-read since they first came out. Skeleton Crew was awesome, a clear step up from Night Shift. Especially the Raft and Survivor Type. Oh and those creepy milkman stories. I would have loved to see the milkman developed into a novel.

    I love Skeleton Crew, my favorites being "Ballad of the Flexible Bullet" and 'Survivor Type." Too cool.
    I see my SK books as old friends-I know them and enjoy them regularly. They are comforting (in a horrofying way) and known, though sometimes you re-read something and see something you missed the first time.

    I'm almost finished, but so far Beachword and The Mist are my favourites.

    Between the self-digesting doctor and that damn cymbal clanging monkey-I was revolted and frightened-Wow, what a head rush and a kick in the nerves!
