You Like It Darker (affiliate link) is a collection of short stories. King has produced numerous wonderful short story collections, so my expectations were high.
King just can't win. I think it's embarrassing if he tries to write about today's youth. And if he writes about himself, or about old writers, that's not good enough for me either.
Two Talented Bastids
Yet another story about a writer, boring. And how is this different from The Tommyknockers (affiliate link)?
The Fifth Step
Nice short story with a good twist.
Willie the Wierdo
This reminds me of the distressing movie The Skeleton Key (affiliate link), which I would want to dare to watch again, but I don't think I can.
Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream
Long, boring and useless story about a man who sees in a dream where a body is hidden, and ends up being the main suspect of the murder.
Finn
Man of bad luck is mistaken for another man and kidnapped as innocent.
On Slide Inn Road
An old man saves the day, what else?
Red Screen
Help, my wife is an alien?
The Turbulence Expert
This story is not suitable for those who have fear of flying. I happen to have it too, but it doesn't matter one bit because I have never been on a plane. There's no reason to go there.
Laurie
Laurie is a dog who encounters a crocodile. Or an alligator, what's the difference?
Rattlesnakes
This is a "sequel" to Cujo (affiliate link). Perhaps I don't want to know how certain characters are doing decades later.
The Dreamers
For me this was perhaps the most interesting story in this collection. This could make a person to be afraid of sleeping.
The Answer Man
This was also an intriguing story. If you could get answers about your life beforehand, what would you ask? And would you be able to handle the answers?
