From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Great assortment of short stories. I liked it how the genre's were mixed between horror, adventure and even sport. Assorted lollies."; "Not all his short stories are winners, and this collection is no exception... However with a whopping 23 stories in this one, there are plenty of great ones that will stick with me for a while. His three pastiches in this collection are really well done and do justice to Chandler, Lovecraft and Conan Doyle."; "King's third short story collection. Some gems: The End of the Whole Mess, The Night Flier, & The Moving Finger. Others fall flat, but none are horrendous. This collection shows King's range effectively."
