Probably more like 3.5/5 overall as a group of stories for me. I would give The Mist, The Raft and Gramma 5/5 with the rest all more like 3/5. Worth the read for sure for those three alone.

I love old Stephen King. Some of his newer stuff has way too much description where I find myself skimming to get back to the story. This book was great. Perfectly creepy and thrilling.
