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.

Another solid Stephen King outing.
Just writing about "The Mist."
I find it interesting how Stephen King draws the townsfolk and their various reactions to what is happening.
It's almost like watching the progression of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression & acceptance with everyone on their own journey, but also being influenced for better or worse by those around them.
In the end, sometimes the horror is more other people, than anything that can be conjured up by the Mist. ...more

The Jaunt ★★★★½
I was wondering about the sweet family trip to Mars, but then the story had a stopover in Providence and I knew where we were going :)
The Mist ★★★★☆
A strong dose of Lovecraftian Horror mixed with a full range of King’s Mainers - a one two punch! Yet, not nearly as brutal as the movie version. I can’t decide if I liked it better this way.
Word Processor of the Gods ★★★★☆
A delicious little fantasy of What If’s? Can two sentences change your life? They can with the right computer. ...more
