You Like It Darker – 5 Stars
When you’ve been a Constant Reader as long as I have (35 years and counting), you start to worry that the gifts from the King might dry out. Every new short story collection is a treasure to be savored, and I’m thrilled to say that Stephen King is still amazing.
His brain still produces crazy stuff at an unfathomable speed, and his short fiction remains a joy to read (or listen to).
The quality of stories varies from good to great, with Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream being a true standout—a magnificent example of Noir “Stephen King Style”. The collection mixes longer novellas with classic short and dark King stories, like The Fifth Step, making for an incredible anthology from a writer still at the top of his game.
Thank you, Stevie.
