I've always considered myself more of a casual Stephen King fanatic. I'll read his books as they're released, but not really go out of my way to read them during the first week or so of its release. Since this was a relatively short book & I had time to read it, I decided to fit it in with my other reading. 
 The book contains two short stories, "Blockade Billy" & "Morality". The first story is a mixture of baseball & thriller, with an emphasis on the baseball aspect of it. "Blockade Billy" is about a baseball player who would've been famous... if not for the terrifying story surrounding him, one that not many (save the story's narrator) really want to share. Even the baseball industry tries to hush the story up. The bonus story "Morality" is about a young couple on the verge of either making it big or fading into mediocrity. Chad wants to be a writer & seems to have the potential to become the next big thing, except for that much of his time is spent on his teaching job so he can ensure that food is kept on the table. His wife helps to make ends meet by caring for senior citizens, but it isn't until one of her employers offers her the deal of a lifetime- he'll give the couple a little over $200K if they do what he asks them to do. His offer seems too good to be true & might offer no long term repercussions. Or does it? 
 I liked "Blockade Billy" well enough, although I wasn't as fond of all of the baseball talk as others might have been. While I do appreciate the amount of detail King put into the baseball side, it isn't until the more sinister parts of the story begin to emerge that the plot really takes off. It's a good story, but there just seemed to be a little something missing to it, like it wasn't entirely finished. 
 "Morality", I liked much better- it had a far more sinister quality to it & I liked how the seemingly "simple" task posed by Nora's employer (a retired priest) had such long reaching side effects. There's not a lot of in-depth detail to the two, but that's to be expected with a short story like this. In my opinion, the lack of further detail seems to expose how ultimately shallow Nora & Chad truly are, which makes the story that much more chilling- they initially view themselves as good people. "Morality" really makes you wonder how much it would take to cause you to do something you would normally never do & how cheap your purchasing price really is. The shallowness of Nora & Chad are further displayed by their lack of true care for the victim(s) of their task- they never stop to think of anyone other than themselves. 
 Both stories are decent enough to get, but I can't honestly say that I'll be re-reading either of them all that soon. The price for the hardback is a little steep, what with it only being a little over 130 pages. (However, I've seen companies charge far more for the same amount of pages so it could have been worse.) 
 Ultimately this will be one that I recommend you flip through at your local bookstore. This collection will charm many people, but for some it won't be a "must own" book. I'll warn you though- you'll find yourself thinking about these stories later on, which proves how good Stephen King can still be.
