3.5 stars 
 Initially, I was going to give this book one or two stars. I was frustrated and angry at the fact that the beginning was a sad revisiting of King's earlier work yet again. There were non stories, silly stories, long poems, and even an advertisement for Amazon (that ripped off one of the themes in The Breathing Method and other early stories). His misogynist tendencies were also well in evidence: women, when they appear, are either plot devices, psychopaths, victims, or conniving witches. The *c* word is used in multiple stories. Though I'm not usually sensitive to this kind of thing, it's getting to be a bit much! He has tons of female fans as well as male. 
 The last portion of this book was infinitely better, though. I enjoyed The Little Green God of Agony, even though it was a bit silly, and it has a fairly kick-ass heroine. Summer Thunder was hauntingly beautiful and sad. Obits was okay--ripping off Murder She Wrote, but it works. 
 However, IMO, the one story that makes this worth a read is Batman and Robin Have an Altercation. Easily the best story in the book, although Summer Thunder comes close. 
 But please Steve, can we stop now with the Christine references? I loved that book, but one haunted car book is enough. You now have three, along with multiple short stories. Enough is enough.
