The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

3.5 stars

This is a collection of 20 short stories and for me short stories tend to be hit or miss especially when it comes to Stephen King. I did have a few favorites like Mile 81, Bad Little Kid and Under the Weather which I have actually read before because it was originally published in Full Dark, No Stars. I also had some that I hated and thought were pointless but I was say the majority of them were just ok reads. King does a great job with build up in stories but the endings a lot of times are lackluster as was the case for one of my favorites, Mile 81. He's also really good at getting you so hooked that by the end you are left needing/wanting more. You feel like you didn't the full story like you're missing something. Both of these are definitely the case for different stories in this collection. Overall I am glad I can say I have marked yet another King book off of my TBR but it's not one of my favorites by him.
