Bag Of Ghosts posted:It is about a professor who receives a haunted Kindle in the mail. For those who didn't hear me: IT IS ABOUT A PROFESSOR WHO RECEIVES A HAUNTED KINDLE IN THE MAIL. And it is ten kinds of terrible. The characters literally have conversations about the Kindle's features and praise it endlessly. I really hope this is a joke. That's terrible.

"Meh" was pretty much my reaction for every story in Just After Sunset, with the exceptions of N. and A Very Tight Place. The rest are just very boring and it felt like King was forcing himself to write something.

I am OK posted:I'm surprised that so many people dislike From a Buick 8 so much. I always thought that underneath the usual horror, it was an interesting look at how our perceptions change as we grow up. I also thought that some of the prose was extremely tender. I also liked it despite the HAUNTED CAR crap.

Bag Of Ghosts posted:"The Cat From Hell" from Just After Sunset. This is a story about a hitman who is hired by a rich dude to kill his demon-possessed cat. The hitman puts the cat in a bag (this is the stupidest thing) and drives out to the river in order to drown the cat. But the cat claws its way out of the bag and kills the hitman by burrowing down his throat. The End. Seconding this as one of his worst short stories. edit: god drat it I missed the edit button again

northerain posted:I agree on Sunset. Pretty flat. I wanted to throw the book at the wall after the 150th or so use of the word "smucking".

I think he just needs to become a drug addict again.

Hearts in Atlantis was great, and yeah, the title story was the best. I'm still kind of annoyed that only the first story in it was adapted for the film, they should have done a TV miniseries like The Stand.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Lisey's Story would have been much better if it weren't for "smucking"
