As my inaugural Stephen King, it didn't disappoint to say the least. "Full Dark, No Stars" is an exploration into the deeper, darker places in our humanity -- revealing the Man or Woman that lives inside of us, as King put it. With these four short stories, "1922", "Big Driver", "Fair Extension", and "A Good Marriage" he's proven to me why he is the master of the thriller. Highly recommend, especially if you haven't read any Stephen King before.
