"Gray Matter"- The real monster was the snowy weather, the alcoholism, and the child neglect all along. Good stuff.
"Battleground"- S.K really has a thing for inanimate objects coming alive screaming bloody murder. yeah? middling
"Trucks"- I was surprisingly enjoying this more than I expected. It's like the Cars movies but actually weird and post apocalyptic.

"The Lawnmower Man" -ehhh. Not sure it worked too great.
"Quitter's Inc." - Strange lil romp through the clutches of nicotine addiction and the power of panic over those we love.
"I Know What You Need"- interesting commentary on comfort levels in relationships + a creepy stalker character.
"Children of the Corn" the religious imagery! Extremely unsettling both in character s and setting. King's best. Zealots, etc

"Sometimes They Come Back" this one reminded me a lot of "The Shining" in a strange way. I think it's the teacher character wrestling with inner and outer demons.
"Strawberry Spring" Campus mystery. You can tell this was inspired by King's native Maine folk history and tales.
"The Ledge" yuppie nightmare. Organized crime and other scary life or death situations including extramarital affairs.
Twists were ok

"The Mangler" -- How can a laundry machine be imbued with such vengeance? I love how King always incorporates some supernatural/folkloric elements as well.
"Bogeyman"-- Somewhat predictable, but ehh

“I am the doorway”
Major spookfest here. Great combo supernatural/ space futurist horror. Loss of agency is a universally very scary feeling

“Night Surf”
This is one of those really good King stories where it’s not horror but it’s really evocative of a lost feeling. Twisted lil reminiscence on a coming of age similar to how 2020 felt

“Jerusalem’s Lot”
Dude what a start! Awesome story with signature King twist at the end. More creepy Puritan New England Shit.
