Full Dark, No Stars has some of the most solid stories King has written, in my opinion. 1922 is a fantastic straight forward horror story. Very cool to see that come from him again. Big Driver is a great tale of revenge that leaves you on the edge of your seat. Fair Extension is dark. Very dark. It really leaves an impression on you. A Good Marriage is just fantastically written and is probably a nightmare that many people have feared having. Under the Weather is a really great short that reminded me immensely of the type of stories that are in Night Shift. This is just a very solid collection of great stories. Loved it.

Agreed. This, like many (all?) of his compilations, was hard to put down.

It began with 1922 and I literally had the shock of wide eyes and mouth drop, and was in disbelief what I was reading, saying omg he didn't go there! and smiling just knowing that he sure did, and he just gets better and better and That no matter how well we might think we know what to expect he reaches out and does it again. Finishing it off with the Good Marriage was just perfect. Extremely impressed with that book!
