This short story is included in the “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams” which ive already reviewed not so long ago.

Again we are talking about a short story from Stephen King which didn’t work for me. I personally don’t like any short stories written by Stephen King.

The plot as in the other short stories by Stephen King just don’t work for me, because in my opinion they are so shallow, boring and uninteresting that I cant fully get into them and actually enjoy them.

The characters in this short story were very very boring, uninteresting, predictable, shallow and flat. Which is the absolute worse traits a character could have.

This one was a mix between a poem and a short story.  And well let me tell you that Stephen King isn’t talented in writing poems.

The characters in this short story were very very boring, uninteresting, predictable, shallow and flat. Which is the absolute worse traits a character could have.

The characters didn’t seem like they were written by Stephen King. Because they were very shallow, had no personality and so much more.

A middle-aged man named Sanderson brings his Alzheimer’s-afflicted father to their weekly lunch, that ends in an challenging adventure based in the strong bond of love have united them since forever.

This short story is included in the “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams” which I’ve already reviewed not so long ago.

The characters in this short story were very very boring, uninteresting, predictable, shallow and flat. Which is the absolute worse traits a character could have.

To be honest the characters in this short story were very similar to each other, and I personally had a very hard time trying to tell the characters apart.

The plot wasn’t that unique here, in my opinion the plot we see in this short story is very very overused. Just think about it here, a person with Alzheimer’s goes through some chilly things. Yeah not that creative.

The writing style here doesn’t seem like it was written by Stephen king himself. 

There isn’t so much to say about this short story because its to short to get any deals about characters and writing style

They’ve been married for ten years and for a long time everything was O.K. but now…

This short story is included in the “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams” which ive already reviewed not so long ago.

I had one huge problem with this short story because Stephen King made very rude and horrible comments about overweight women. Which really didn’t sit well with me personally.

The plot in this short story, was very very bad. There is absolutely no reception for the plot in this short story. Because it seems like Stephen King was following some kind of rule book on how to write an absolutely horrible short story possible. Which in this short story Stephen King had succeed. 

The characters in this short story were very very boring, uninteresting, predictable, shallow and flat. Which is the absolute worse traits a character could have.

The write style didn’t feel like s something written by Stephen King.

And the ending here was not the greatest, because not really happened there.

At Mile 81 on the Maine Turnpike is a boarded up rest stop on a highway in Maine. It’s a place where high school kids drink and get into the kind of trouble high school kids have always gotten into. It’s the place where Pete Simmons goes when his older brother, who’s supposed to be looking out for him, heads off to the gravel pit to play “paratroopers over the side.” Pete, armed only with the magnifying glass he got for his tenth birthday, finds a discarded bottle of vodka in the boarded up burger shack and drinks enough to pass out.

This short story is included in the “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams” which I’ve already reviewed not so long ago. 

I really wanted to like this short story, because I’ve heard so much good about it, but after reading this short story, I cant honestly say that I had liked it which of course I didn’t.

This short story had a good premise, but just the way it was presented was really really bad.

After reading this short story, I need to say that this short story would be best suited for a grade school kid rather than an adult. Just because it wasnt scary as much as you would think.

The character are very very disappointing. Because if you think about Stephen king you think about his ability to create very good characters, which didn’t happen in this short story.

The characters in this short story are very predictable, uninteresting, boring and very very annoying. Which really surprised me here because they didn’t feel like they were written by Stephen King but rather b someone who tried to impersonate him.

The plot here as said above, had good premise but it dragged for far too long and the longer in continued then the less fun this short story worked become. 

The ending here was probably the best thing about this short story, it wasn’t the best don’t get that wrong. But it still was better than the rest of this short story.

Recently divorced writer Mort Rainey is alone at Tashmore Lake–that is, until a figure named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger.

This short story was one of 4 short stories in “Four Past Midnight” written by Stephen which I’ve reviewed already, but it was a review about the book as a whole rather than about each of those 4 short stories. So thats why we are here today to talk about this one.

Its important to say that short stories written by Stephen King doesn’t work for me for whatever reason which I cant really name for some reason.

Here we go again another bad short story by Stephen King. This one is also the last short story included in “Four Past Midnight”.

This short story isn’t as much a horror short story as much as it is a mystery short story. But the mystery here was almost not existing in this short story, because you could tell what would happen next and the mystery here was very obvious. 

The plot here had for sure its good moments which were rare, and in general the whole short story was more on the boring site than anything else. At the same time the plot was very repetitive, and it would mention the same things over and over again. Which really annoyed me. 

The ending hadn’t had the big twist at the end, because you could tell how this short story would end, just 2 or 3 chapters into this short story. Which really proves how bad the build up and the mystery was.

Th writing style here was not so bad as in the 3 other short stories which are included in the “Four Past Midnight”. But it still wasn’t on the Stephen King level which ive expected from the short story.

The characters in this short story, has the same problems as in the 3 remaining short stories which are included in “Four Past Midnight”. Which means that they were very flat, uninteresting, boring and very shallow characters.

On a cross-country, redeye flight from Los Angeles to Boston, ten passengers awaken in Bangor, Maine, to find that the crew and most of their fellow passengers have disappeared. The airport shows no signs of life. Yet they hear “radio static” in the distance. Craig Toomey, an irritable investment banker on the verge of a breakdown, believes it is “The Langoliers,” monsters he was afraid of as a child who attack those who waste time. It’s mystery author Bob Jenkins who first theorizes that they have flown through a time rip. Bob declares they have entered a place that forbids time travelers to observe or interfere with past events. It turns out that Craig is right, in a way.

Its important to say that short stories written by Stephen King doesn’t work for me for whatever reason which I cant really name for some reason.

I gotta say, that with this short story, Stephen King has hit a whole new low with his short stories. Because of many reasons which we will talk about in this review.

The plot in this short story in my opinion is so over used. If you don’t know, this short story is about a flight and some bad things happening on that flight.

I personally feel like there are so many books about flights which go down the hill, and this point I’m very, very tired of it. But again thats just something personal.

The characters in this short story are very very flat, shallow and very predictable. It really was a huge surprise to me how bad the characters in this short story were, because this short story was written by the master of horror, who know how to create very good characters.

The writing style in this short story didn’t feel like it was written by Stephen King, which really made me angry.

The ending here was awful, because this short story was building the tense vibe if you will to the big ending, which didn’t happen after all.
