Sorry for my english, This book was very good. I could stop reading it. All those novels were like a suite of only one story. I really appreciate ready that book. I am a big fan of yours. I read almost all your books. You always find the way to surprise me. I am 52 years old and I read a lot and I mean a lot of books about strange, macabre, and dective stuff. But, the way you wrote those story is a lot different of all I ever read before. There's only one other guy who was able to give me the same kind of sensation and it was Edgar Allan Poe and it was not in each book that he wrote because some of them were not that good. The way I see it, right now, you don't have competition. You are the only one that could describe a scene and give goose bump to somebody only because he is ready one of your book. Keep up the good work! Viking from Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Even though there is only four short stories I think this is his best collection. I enjoyed every one of them so much that I can't even pick a favorite!

This is a great collection of short stories. Three of the four wonderful stories were made into wonderful movies. However I believe that the story that shines the most is The Breathing Method. It is hands down the best of the collection im my opinion. It is a story within a story. I did not want it to end. I wanted to know more about the club and what was creeping around upstairs. Read it and you will not be dissapointed.

i personally thought the best novella in this was Apt Pupil, i found guite terrifing, ever since the bit where he puts the stray cat in the oven. I loved all the other storys. The shawshank was brilliant
