What is your favorite

[Doc Wilson]

This is my favorite of his collections. Two that others haven't mentioned which are standouts are Home Delivery (kings artful spin on the classic zombie tale) and the 10'0 Clock People (an oddly moving surreal little piece).

I'd have to go with Sorry, right number.....that would just be too weird to get your head around.

I thought " You know they've got a hell of a band" was good........

It's the ultimate Rock and Roll heaven......Hey there's Elvis and Janis Joplin and so on and so on.

The ones that I remember the most were "Dolan's Cadillac", "You know they got a hell of a band", and "Sorry, right number", these were really good stories but The whole book in general when I first read it was really great though.

My favorite story in this collection? Quite difficult to decide; probably a toss-up between Chattery Teeth, a perfect blend of humor and horror, and Umney's Last Case, because of how deeply attached to Umney I was. Popsy and Rainy Season and The End of the Whole Mess were very good too, but the last one I mentioned is too depressing for me to be my favorite story of the group.

My favorite has to be Chattery Teeth. You have three elements coming into one: First you have a description of Scooter's Grocery and Roadside Zoo, with Scooter and Mrs. Scooter, followed by 2. the nasty hitchhiker coming into the picture by being in the store to buy cigarettes and hopefully hitch a ride (the part about the kid counting his change out slowly was excellent!) and 3. The Chattery Teeth being in a novelty display case in the store, which the main character in the story buys for his son. Stephen King's writing at its best!!

At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this adaptation or not.

I've still put off seeing it for fear of it not living up to expectations (I've been let down by a lot if them.). This was the first S.K. Collection that I read, so I have high hopes.

"Umneys Last Case", "Crouch End", "Dolan's Cadillac", and "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band"(runner up for favorite) are all awesome stories, my favorite is "The Night Flier".
I really wish it had made the cut for the tv series.

[Silhouette86]

My favorite would have to be The Moving Finger. The idea in itself is really creepy.

While we're on the subject, and with no offense to Stephen King, I heartily recommend reading the scary novel "Let's Go Play at the Adams'" by Mendal W. Johnson. If you can stomach it and if you can find a copy. Copies can still be found at Amazon.com or Alibris.com
