Sir, what an gripping tale you have here. I cannot stop thinking about it. I want to tell all my friends (the ones that read) about it. I just finished reading this story (after Wilda) and now I can't move on to the next; I have to finish 'digesting' the Gingerbread Girl (there are so many entendres there, but no pun, honest). Thank you Mr. King, for entertaining me for so many years.

This one tour de force. It hits the ground running and like a marathon runner it does not stop until the end.

Was really enjoying this story (up until 5 minutes ago) when I firstly found one page (60) completely blank and then page 76 was completley unreadable! I bought Just After Sunset a few months ago from amazon and am now left frustrated as I did't want to miss any of this great short story! Just thought I'd share my frustration :)

You cannot help but get into the excitement of Em trying to escape this serial killer. It makes you think if you would be that strong and have the will to live even after the loss she took at the beginning of the story. I don't think I could be.

This was an amazing short story that captured me from the word go.....I loved it and the ending was just great! I love Stephen King. He is such an amazing writer. Never stop giving the rest of the world just a small piece of your gift....thank you!

Where else has this story been published? I just reread it in the current collection and am sure I have read it previously.
[It was previously published in Esquire.]

I loved it! I especially loved the all the little gingerbread references. Not just the running bits, but also all the other things that deal with gingerbread cookies and how you play around with them. I liked the similarities between this story and "Duma Key." It was like a fresh baked cookie: cooked just right and doesn't get a chance to sit in the cookie jar for long. :D
