Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast, one man's musings on the works of Stephen King.

Each week I will review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King and the chronological order of publication.

And this week I'm examining King's collection of short stories, the twisted and terrifying everything's eventual.

As you know from previous episodes, King has published a book of short stories every decade, starting with 1978's Night Shift, 1985's skeleton crew, 1993's nightmare and dreamscapes, and here he continues his tradition with Everything's Eventual.

As a disclaimer, I want to note that Everything's Eventual came out during a low point of my Stephen King fandom.

I had been disappointed with from a Buick 8 and Dream Catcher, and the heydays of my Stephen King enthusiasm had long since waned.

So I don't have many memories of reading Everything's Eventual.

I didn't have the anticipation I had felt almost a decade before

with the release of his previous short story collection, Nightmares and Dreams and Dreams,

and I wanted this publication to get out of the way so we could get to the last three books of the Dark Tower.

I wanted conclusion. I didn't want these stinking short stories.

I say this because I wasn't in the right mind to enjoy what King had given, so I was very excited to return to everything's

eventual to see what I had missed the first time around. As I have done with my reviews of his other

stories, I'm not going to review every short story in this collection,

but a handful of the best.

So I'll be reviewing Autopsy Room 4, The Man in the Black Suit, The Road Virus Heads North,

Lunch at the Gotham Cafe, 1408.

Now there are two short stories that are not on this list, and those stories are The Little

Sisters of Illuria and Everything's Eventual. Why aren't not on this list, and those stories are the Little Sisters of

Illuria and Everything's Eventual. Why aren't they on this list? Well, they're not on this list

because they were related to the Dark Tower. So you might be asking, you're a huge Dark Tower

fan. Why are you reviewing them? Don't worry, everyone. I am reviewing them. Just not in this
