The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

There are some decent pieces here, but a good chunk of uninvolving filler and King by numbers as well. He seems very concerned here to establish his literary credentials, with the introductions referring to Raymond Carver and the like. As a writer towards the end of his career with an eye on his legacy, he's perfectly entitled to do so, of course, but I liked the delirious love of genre that spilled out of Night Shift and Skeleton Crew a whole lot more.
