Includes the story “The Monkey”—now a major motion picture!
The #1 New York Times bestseller—a mesmerizing treasury of short stories by Stephen King.
An eerie-looking child’s toy harbors an unimaginable evil. A supermarket is unexpectedly the place where humanity makes its last stand against destruction. A trip to the attic becomes a journey to hell. An idyllic lake conceals a bottomless terror. And a desert island is the scene of the most frightening struggle for survival ever waged.
Featuring the short story “The Monkey” (now a major motion picture) and the novella “The Mist,” which was both a feature film and television series, as well as many other haunting now classic tales, this magnificent collection is enduring and irresistible proof that Stephen King is a true master of the short story form.

Another great collection from Stephen King!
I read Night Shift before I read this book, which was my main motivation for wanting to read this collection. Being my first collection of short stories by Stephen King, I love Night Shift! I’m a huge fan of horror stories and Night Shift didn’t disappoint! I love this book because it’s almost as good! Forget The Mist; to me, some of the creepiest stories in this book include: The Monkey, Cain Rose Up, The Raft, The Jaunt, Gramma, Nona, Survivor Type, Uncle Otto’s Truck, and The Reach. If you’re a horror fan who loves Stephen King’s short stories, this book is for you! The other reviewer is right; this is not a new book. Like him, I don’t know why they would try to make it seem like one, other than the fact that it’s recently been reissued. For anyone who’s curious, I think this book was originally published in 1985(as a print book, of course. That’s what I prefer to read, by the way. I have samples of numerous books on my phone, but I like reading an actual, physical book better than anything else.)
NOT A NEW BOOK.
I don't understand why they don't use the original published date. Great book, loved it. But this is marketed as if it's new. AND it's not.
