I've always preferred King's short stories to his novels. Have you read Lawnmower Man yet? How they went from that to the film is beyond me.

I always go back and forth which Stephen King short story collection I prefer: Night Shift or Skeleton Crew.

Most of the time I probably go Skeleton Crew because of The Raft and The Mist.

The Ledge was outstanding it gave me even more heebie-jeebies than watching Cats Eye did. I have just started Lawnmower Man. I honestly had no idea all these movie famous stories were in this book.

220 pages into Christine,a third of the book and nothing has really happened. Good character building but something needs to happen.

I've loved Christine for its character building detail lol.

I'm finishing up Jay Kristoff's Nevernight trilogy with Darkdawn.

But I do recall one of the better things John Carpenter did was improve the pacing (as well as not use a big pink shit-sucker trucker in the end, that was just a goofy visual).
