Ilustration Conducive To Books Skeleton Crew

From the Flap: The Master at his scarifying best! From heart-pounding terror to the eeriest of whimsy--tales from the outer limits of one of the greatest imaginations of our time! Evil that breathes and walks and shrieks, brave new worlds and horror shows, human desperation bursting into deadly menace--such are the themes of these astounding works of fiction. In the tradition of Poe and Stevenson, of Lovecraft and The Twilight Zone, Stephen King has fused images of fear as old as time with the iconography of contemporary American life to create his own special brand of horror--one that has kept millions of readers turning the pages even as they gasp. In the book-length story "The Mist," a supermarket becomes the last bastion of humanity as a peril beyond dimension invades the earth. . . Touch "The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands," and say your prayers . . . There are some things in attics which are better left alone, things like "The Monkey" . . . The most sublime woman driver on earth offers a man "Mrs. Todd's Shortcut" to paradise . . . A boy's sanity is pushed to the edge when he's left alone with the odious corpse of "Gramma" . . . If you were stunned by Gremlins, the Fornits of "The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet" will knock your socks off . . . Trucks that punish and beautiful teen demons who seduce a young man to massacre; curses whose malevolence grows through the years; obscene presences and angels of grace--here, indeed, is a night-blooming bouquet of chills and thrills.

Assess Of Books Skeleton Crew

While this definitely isnt my favourite collection of King short stories, it does have some gems that I really loved. My favourite by far were Nona, The Mist and The Monkey. Something about each of those three stories really got to me and sunk their claws deep into me. The rest of the stories were quite enjoyable as well but they just didnt leave me with the same delicious feeling of unease as the three stories I mentioned above.

There are two short stories that I read over and over. The Mist has always been a favorite, and I can't believe how many people haven't read Survivor Type! It's awesome!I've lost three copies of this from lending it out. Don't ask--you can't borrow it! ;o)

So, 2 stars on goodreads means it was ok. And thats exactly what Skeleton Crew was. Just ok.... Not great, not even good. But not absolutely terrible either because there are a six stories in Skeleton Crew that saved it from a did not like it rating (ex. The Mist, The Jaunt, The Raft, Beachworld, The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands, and Survivor Type).. After calculating the average of the star ratings that I gave each individual story as I read them, it ended up coming in at 2.6 stars. Im not a

I finished Skeleton Crew with tears in my eyes. I thought I'd read "The Reach" the story that closes out this collection before, but I guess I hadn't. It was an entirely new experience for me, and it packed quite the emotional wallop. As I write this review I'm still trying to mentally recover from that one, so pardon me if my thoughts are a little scattered. My Fornit died, and I'm stuck doing the job myself. By the time this collection was published in 1985, Stephen King was a bona-fide

There will be some of you that think three stars is kinda harsh for this collection. After all, it includes such amazing tales as The Mist and The Jaunt. It must be amazeballs, right? Not so much. Even the epically awesome stories in this collection need to be trimmed down. Most of them start slower than a Lars Von Trier movie, and over half of them never really pay off. There are some serious WTF stories within this collection; stories I didn't understand ten years ago and still do not

It has been a while since I read this collection, but some stories (not the ones usually cited by reviewers) really frightened me.1. Here There Be Tygers - We all know that the tiger lurking just beyond the bend in the L-shaped bathroom is only a childhood fantasy. But it's better not to take chances, anyway...2. The Monkey - Scary toys. Your parents pooh-pooh your fears, but you know that they are out to get you...3. The Raft - Safety is only metres away, but unreachable all the same.4. The

A collection of stories that starts with the novella "The Mist." There are a couple of fantastic stories with the rest being good. I didn't enjoy the inclusion of two poems, but overall the ratings averaged out to a solid four. This is King's second short story collection, but I enjoyed his first, "Night Shift", the best.1.The Mist -I reviewed this where it originally appeared in the anthology "Dark Forces". See my review there. (5/5)2. Here There Be Tygers - Short and strange. There is a tiger
