This is the second of King's short stories I have read, Skeleton Crew being the first. I enjoyed it very much. I love reading the short stories maybe some more than the novels. I think they did a very good job with the movie 1408, very scary.

I love all of the beautifully written short stories. I will definetely read Sam the Cat and The Hotel Eden as you suggested. Thank you Mr. King.

I loved all the short stories in Everything's Eventual some more then others, but still all pretty good. Gothem's Cafe was my favorite out of the short stories. I'm not going to comment on all the stories, but I'll just say they were all worth reading

I'm having so much FUN reading these!! As I have insomnia, and have loved your stories. Ofcourse Riding the Bullet is great, sounds like a dream like state. Autopsy Room Four (creepy) made my stomach knot loved that one. I'm currently reading Lunch at the Gotham Cafe', I have just started thsi book. Your letter to us in the start was informative, good, comical, you keep it up, this is one who won't stop reading! I have so much to say I can't put it all here.

A note to Mr. King: Dear Mr. King, OK - you won. I was so involved in your short story "Lunch at the Gotham Cafe" that I lost all track of time & location and rode past my train station before I knew it. You may say, 'So What? Big deal!' But then you wouldn't understand. I'm a born & bred New Yorker and I've never 'lost sight' of my train station at any time during my 35 years of riding NYC Mass Transit. Real N.Y.'ers never do. Sure, sometimes we fall alseep - heck we often fall asleep - but a real NY'er has the ability to 'self-rouse' at least 1 station stop prior to his own. We don't miss our stops, especailly the ones on the way home. Well, you won! I was so caught-up reading that the soon to be ex-wife had knowingly kicked 'our hero' in the butt, almost throwing him into the clutches of our Mad Maitre 'de au Coney Island, that I hadn't noticed my stop approaching. Then, I was in such disbelief that she wouldn't give a glint of acknowledgment that he had, indeed, saved her life, I didn't notice that the doors had opened (and closed) at my station. By then, since I was as shocked as he was by her tone & attitude, I found myself one stop - and many blocks - past my home station. And then JUST to see if she'd walk right into Guy, I said to myself, "I don't care, I finishing the story before I get off this train" - and I did just that. So, you won. You were able to get a New Yorker to break a routine. There's no medal or ribbon to receive, but you won none the less. By the way, I tend to NOT read the introduction or forward of a book I'm about to start. I usually wait until I've read the story/stories and then go back. (I have my reasons) So, after reading the rest of the stories, I did go back to read your forward and there you mentioned that if I, as one of your 'constant readers', had a thought or opinion I should let you know via stephenking.com I hurrumffed to myself noting that I've never written a "Fan Letter" and never would. Fan is just another "F" word not to be used in mixed company. So, I figured why write an "F'ing" letter. Although, if pressed, I'd have to say I'm a real "F"! So I'll say it again - - - You Won! I'm a fan and I took the time to write. I'll justify the writting of this "F'ing" letter by reminding you that you asked to be contacted with our opinions. Thanks for that - I'll be able to tell myself that what i really did was answer a question or give you a helping hand. Feel free to write back with any other questions you might have - I wouldn't mind. You seem pretty cool. By the way, I agree, there aren't enough "Short Story Books" being published, these days.

I have just gotten into these stories, and so far they are great! But the most interesting and important (personal view of course) is the introduction. There is a moving bit of information here that is sad and hoping all at the same time. If King is 10% of the feeling he writes on the "almost lost arts" then he is a great person for seeing short stories and radio plays as just as important and fulfilling as any other media.

I absolutely loved this book. I have read it twice already and I am fascinated by it's depth and just everything about it. My favourite of the stories was The death of jack hamilton. I hope to see more collections like this one!
