Just in time

You found me just in time

Before you came my time was running off

My bridges all were crossed,

Nowhere to grow

I'll get here

And I know where I'm going

And welcome to the Stephen King cast

One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

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

And this week I'm examining his 2008 collection of short stories most likely to be adapted into a movie starring Ethan Hawk and Julie Delby just after sunset.

As you know, King releases at least one collection of short stories every decade,

which began with 1978's Night Shift, followed by a skeleton crew in 1985,

Nightmares and Dreams and Dreams Gapes in 1993, and everything's eventual in 2002.

A short, six years later, here he is, with another publication of shorts,

Well, I prefer his other ones to this.

Now, when it comes to short story publications, you can't really complain.

There's always going to be some good ones and some bad ones. It's just that with this particular entry, there aren't as many

memorable ones that stand out to me personally, with the exception of N, which I find horrifying
