My favorite was Big Driver, I always love a good revenge story
1922. I like period pieces.
My favorite was The Good Marriage, followed by Big Driver, then 1922, the Fair Extension.

I enjoyed all the stories. I must say, Fair Extensions was THE most disturbing to me. Fair Extensions just...messed with my head. *shakes head side to side*
I believe it is the darkest reading yet by King. I enjoyed it very much. I guess I would pick 1922.
Fair Extension, The Good Marriage and Big Driver were tied, and then 1922. Maybe I have a sadistic streak (well, probably), but haven't we all known people like that? They could fall into a pile of sh*t and end up smelling of roses, and others could fall into the roses and smell like fertilizer. Kind of fun to see it turned around. I know, I know, probably time for a trip to the therapist's couch, right?![]()
It would be difficult to point to any one story and say "Yup, that was my favorite. At the moment I'd lean toward 'A Good Marriage' but if asked later I might name another. After finishing them all, I initially was less than overwhelmed. But since then I've read a book of novellas by another horror writer who I'll choose not to name, and none of his stories were even in the same realm as King's. So now as I look back on FDNS, I can say it was great. Glad I have it on audio so I can listen through it again soon.
For me: Fair Extension is tops followed closely by 1922. Good Marriage and then Big Driver. Fair Extension was fantastic. I am fascinated by the dark side of humanity...so much closer to us than we care to realize.
I really enjoyed 1922.....It set the tone for the rest of the book. One of the many things that I like about The Masters work is his ability to create the environment, in this case, Nebraska during the depression. It all seemed so accurate.
