Ick. I can’t think of any circumstance in which I want to read a story of a woman’s rape written by a man.
There was a lot in the set-up that I was enjoying, like the Mrs. Marple references and the “Good Man is Hard to Find” vibe. But the purposeless homophobia coupled with the gratuitous sexual violence ruined this pretty quickly.
How do you rate something you wish didn’t exist?

“Fair Extension”
Although this reminded me of some of my favorite short stories to teach (“Monkey’s Paw, “Button Button”), “This isn’t some half-assed morality tale” (269). Enjoyable but not much of a pay-off in the end.

“1922” was absolutely incredible. It reminded me of every short story I’ve ever loved. SK took the best parts of Pet Sematary, Dolores Claiborne, and “The Man in the Black Suit” and rolled them all into one novella. I could have done without some of the animal body horror, but I will read anything and everything SK writes about grief. More please.
