Four Past Midnight (The 4 novellas Contained In The Collection)(Strictly Horror With Elements Of The Supernatural)(Paperback)

I'm not sure Uncle Stevie knows the definition of a "short" story. The four stories in these collection are more like novellas or short novels. As with all story collections the ratings vary. The Langoliers - 2 Stars The first story was my least favorite. The premise is great several passengers on airplane awaken to find everyone else on board has vanished. That sounded great but after the first 50 pages the story just dragged and the story was overly long. It just wasn't a fun read. Secret Window, Secret Garden- 4 stars This was my favorite story out of the collection even if it was a little predictable. A writer dealing with a divorce and writers block opens his door to a man claiming the writer plagiarized his story. The Library Policeman - 3.5 Stars A man pays an unforgettable and terrifying visit to his local library. So close to being my favorite but just overly long. The Sun Dog - 3 Stars A boy receives a very strange camera for his 15 the birthday. The only true horror story in this collection but like a lot of Stephen King works the ending was a little Meh! Four Past Midnight was a good collection but not one of his greats. Its still a great addition to your King collection
