At $5.99 for the ebook download, I really expected a novel instead of a short story. I can't even call it a novella -- it was that short.The story was interesting and I did enjoy the read, but I have to say it was missing some of the dark sparks I expect from Mr. King. Not so much a disappointment f...

Interesting short story by Stephen King. This is a very short read in under an hours but worth the little it cost. This is only in ebook format. But it is Stephen King. Yes, it is weird. But it is Stephen King what more can I say? This ebook has a teaser of the new novel 11/23/69 that is comi...

I knew there was a reason that rest stops have always creeped me out. I just needed Stephen King to write a digital short that solidified my fears. It's the standard Stephen King: young kids doing something slightly illegal in order to tempt the universe to punish them. Good thing I like that (in ...

You can debate for years about Stephen King's place in modern literature but you have to hand it to the man -- he's prolific as hell and has about the most distinctive voice ever heard in fiction.

Yes I gave it three stars but this little not-quite-a-novella irritates the hell out of me for two reasons.First, that Goodreads description and half the reviews. If you read the description above you have basically read 60% of the story. Way too much information and not much else to read. There sho...

4.5 starsRemind me never, ever to get in Stephen King's car. ... OK, who am I kidding. I'd get in. :DI really enjoyed this story. I liked the fact that we have two different stories converging in this little novella - a kind of self-discovery adventure and a classic gore-horror. But there is more to...

Stephen King’s novelette, MILE 81, released today in digital format, tells the story of an abandoned rest stop, or rather the peculiar car that chooses to park there, and what that car does when the curious get too close.Ten year old Pete Simmons, brushed off by his older brother and his gang and lo...

I don't know exactly what King was going for here. At the end, he throws out a dedication to a few people who supported his earlier work, so I'm guessing he was going on nostalgia?This thing reads like a really bad B-movie. Not in a good way. I could've done without the blatant and unnecessary pl...
