To think this is twenty years old. Man, that's crazy. I thoroughly enjoyed the two tales in this book. The other one being END OF THE WORLD. The five star rating comes from enjoyment. Bottom line. If I breeze through a book, not wanting to put it down, and the story is told well, it's pretty much going to get five, that's it in a nutshell. Well, that's how I feel about books today, anyway. So glad I found this little rare beauty. Also, what I enjoyed, was seeing how these stories influenced his later novels, especially the last story with END TIMES. Okay... I'm away to watch Twilight Zone.
