Just King Things is a podcast where we read the books of Stephen King in publication order.

As these are largely horror stories, they often deal with complicated and disturbing topics.

This episode, on the 1978 short story collection, Night Shift, has content warnings for

cults and indoctrination, suicide, including assisted suicide, murder, drug abuse and alcoholism,

and cancer and long-term illness.
