“A master storyteller.” —Los Angeles Times“Eerie. . . . Ought to chill the cockles of many a heart.” —Chicago Tribune“A master. . . . [King] will catch you in his web and reach you at an elemental level where there is no defense.” —The Cincinnati Enquirer“Stephen King has built a literary genre of putting ordinary people in the most terrifying situations. . . . he’s the author who can always make the improbable so scary you'll feel compelled to check the locks on the front door.” —The Boston Globe “Peerless imagination.” —The Observer (London) Stephen King is the author of more than fifty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. Among his most recent are Full Dark, No Stars; Under the Dome; Just After Sunset; Duma Key; Lisey’s Story; Cell; and the concluding novels in the Dark Tower saga: Wolves of the Calla, Song of Susannah, and The Dark Tower.

Night Shift is a collection of twenty tales of ghouly delight by Stephen Kinig Stephen King and I both turn the dreaded age of 70 years old this year! If that is not scary enough I decided to plunge into a reading of many of King's classic novels and short stories. Night Shift is the first of his story collections . It was published in 1976. The tales hold up well and will be read well into the future. Among the stories:Graveyard Shift-Mutant Rats run on a rampage of murder and horror deep within the confines of an old and decaying buildingThe Mangler;A machine possessed by evil goes on the rampage in a laundry.Trucks-Trucks without their drivers unite in an evil confederacy against humanity.Sometimes they Come Back-A group of murderers return to a classroom to torment a man whose brother had been murdered by the returned students many years before the story begins.Battleground-Toy soldiers run wild and attack a man.The Lawnmower Man-A worker for the mythical god Pan destroys a suburban homeowner with his mad mowingQuitters Inc.-You will never pick up another cigarette after this story!Children of the Corn-A famous story about children with evil eyes in the cornfields of middle America. The edition I read contained a good introduction to King by John MacDonald and also a fine prologue written by King. Curl up and enjoy this early but outstanding book of short stories!Stephen King is excellent at short stories, and this was a great collection I can't believe I'd never read this one before. Stephen King is excellent at short stories, and this was a great collection. The only story I didn't like was Night Surf, the rest were good to great.Standouts for me:The ManglerThe BoogeymanBattlegroundThe LedgeQuitters, Inc.Children of the Corn (about a thousand times better than that crappy movie)The Last Rung on the LadderOne for the RoadNight Shift "The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn't real. I know that, and I also know that if I'm careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle. "This is the first time I have ever read a collection of stories and who better to start with than Mr. King. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel reading a bunch of separate stories compared to one whole tale. In the end I enjoyed it but was left wanting to feel a little more invested in the works as a whole. That is the reason for a four star rating over a five, because they're five star stories in this book. My favorite ones being The Last Rung on the Ladder, Children of the Corn, and One for the Road. Overall this was a pleasant experience and I will definitely read more collections but for now back to the novels.
