I first picked up this collection when I was about five years old, and it left an indelible impression on my young brain. It was the first book to truly engage my imagination on multiple levels, and now, as a grad student who spends 90% of my time reading, I still get a chill when I remember these stories. Thank you so much!

I am really curious about who survived in the end of "Gray Matter". I guess mr. King let the readers to conclude their own way, but I'd really like to find out... I also think that this could be a prelude for a novel, it has great potential

This collection of short stories is one of the best I have ever heard. I listened to the audio set by Random House Inc. It has the great beginings, middles and endings a reader could ask for. I think that all the stories were great so I don't have a favorite. Personally none of the storys scare me. I am not phased with fright about those types of things. And I think that Stephen King is one of the greatest authors of all time. Keep up the good stories King.

Found this one at Goodwill for $2! It smells old and creepy - like something out of a spooky old woman's attic. I savored each and every story. Thank you for making my heart race.

Hi moderator, just want to ask if there's a chance that this collection will be re-published? I lost my copy and can't find this in any book sale. Thanks

This book actually kept me up at night, afraid someone - or something - was going to come out of my closet and get me. Congratulations, Mr. King, for making an 18 year-old afraid of the dark. And I loved the ending to Battleground, That was almost funny. Same with The Ledge.

Loving this book, not started reading children of the corn yet, didn't really like night surf but battleground and the boogeyman were great.

Great book. I especially enjoyed the story with the rats. Loved the ending of that one.
