Night Shift | 
pickI‘m glad I re-read this one. I can see connections to some of his other works (Salem‘s Lot for one). With my attention span, I do better with short stories sometimes. I‘m working my way through King‘s works - according to my list from #losersclub, The Stand is next. Not such a short story, that one…
Finished moving recently! Gearing up for the move is one the reasons I‘ve been MIA for a while. Been dipping into King‘s Night Shift to reread some favorite short stories while I get everything sorted. Hope you all have been well!
pickI normally don‘t enjoy short story collections, but this one is exceptional. I enjoyed every one of these stories. I just kept thinking to myself “Man, this guy can write!” It really is amazing how he can create interesting characters and plots full of suspense and dread that can be read in 10 minutes. I think my favorite story is “I am a Doorway.”
pickClassic King. I usually hate short stories, but I absolutely loved this one.

pickNot as cohesive or strong overall as some of King‘s other short story collections, but there are some great stories in here. Quitter‘s, Inc. is one of my favorites. #horror
I normally don‘t read short stories. I always find them too… short. But I have been watching Chapelwaite and I have never read Jerusalem‘s Lot. So fixing that with today‘s #bookmail

pickGreat book to pick up at anytime. Short stories are well done.

Thank you @wanderinglynn
pickAs a fan of King, I'm still catching up on his full library. This was a good one of short stories. Very enjoyable and includes some of his classics like Children of the Corn.
Who would've thought a Stephen King book could look so "cute"?! I wanted to mark off the start of each story so I could better track my progress and these where the ONLY page tabs I had. ?♀️?
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://suspensebookreviews.home.blog/2021/04/17/night-shift-by-stephen-king/
This was a collection of 20 short stories from the master story teller himself. I loved each story as much as the last. Each was unique and terrifying in their own rights, it was hard to pick a favorite. A must read for all King fans or a great place to start if you have never read his work.
Book Spin Pick: Night Shift by Stephen King. Yes!!! A collection of short stories from my favorite author! Something to pull me out of this slump of books I just have not been connecting with. King never fails to disappoint. Hopefully I can get back on a 4/5 ⭐ streak after this one.
pickI‘ve never loved a collection of short stories this much. Perfect lengths for reading in the car while between errands, in waiting rooms, or for a few minutes with my coffee in the morning. My favorites were: Graveyard Shift, The Mangler, Trucks, The Ledge, and The Lawnmower Man. Sidenote: there are so many murderous machines in this collection!!
Up next in my #readingStephenKing project: THE STAND!!
I did not expect to enjoy this one much at all because I tend to be bored with short story collections. However, I think these stories are awesome. So fun to read. I‘m about half thru. So far, my favorites are The Mangler (about the killer laundry ironing/folding machine) and Graveyard Shift (about the giant blind and legless rats).

Up next in my #readingStephenKing project!! I tend to read short story collections a little more slowly, one at a time. So this one may take a little longer for me to finish. But I‘m very excited to get started!!
pickThis is a great collection of short stories. The most famous story of course being Children of the Corn. But all of these are scary in their own way- from the bizarre to the downright terrifying. A great place to start with Stephen King if you're looking to get a taste of his work. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
#stephenkinglonghaul
Enjoying some scary stories while watching the House of Representatives impeach the POTUS for the second time.
I‘m currently reading “Graveyard Shift”. Along with it and the marsh rat scene in another book (tagged in spoiler below) I read this year, I can say, without a doubt, that I don‘t like rats. 😳 🤢 I probably already knew this, but it‘s definitely confirmed now.
🐀 = not cute
I think this is the only book I own that #startswithn. More of an October book though ;) #forevernovember

pickReading classic King is like visiting with an old friend. 💚
This is one of my favorite short story collections, with one of my favorite stories, Strawberry Spring. As always King delivers a wide range of stories in this book, several of which have been made into movies.

Despite what her expression might suggest, Suki would be fearless against a real rat. We read Night Shift because of its mutant rat story but that ended up being one of the weaker stories in the collection. There were some pretty fun ones here. This was the last book we discussed in person before everything shut down. ☹️

pickShort Story Review: The Boogeyman by Stephen King

#athinsliceofanxiety #theboogeyman #stephenking #shortstory #master
A great collection of short stories. Strawberry Spring is my favorite story in this collection. King's shorter works often get overlooked, but some of his best writing is displayed in these collections.

My final time for the #24B4Monday — not too shabby considering I only got 5 hours during my last #readathon !
All total I read 10 graphic novels, finished Night Shift and started Salem‘s Lot. Overall very productive!
I actually started my timer over at midnight because I‘m going to keep track of my reading time throughout this week. It seems to motivate me so I can‘t complain!
"Out there, in the night, something walked, and it saw everything...even the secrets kept in human hearts."
From Children of the Corn
This edition includes 8 pages of film scenes ??. In this pic, it looks like Ole Mister Butcher is having a rough afternoon.
pickThis is an awesome collection of short stories from the master of horror. Some of my favorites include Children of the Corn, The Boogeyman, Sometimes They Come Back, Quitters Inc., I Know What You Need & Strawberry Spring. Not recommended to read right before bed, you have been warned! 😱😆 5⭐️
P.S. I‘m at 12 hours for the #24B4Monday

Children of the Corn & Carrot cake.
Close enough...
An even hour for Children of the Corn, while just arriving there on my Night Shift reread. Long after 10 years; great to read again, as I now plan a quest for all the film adaptations!

A fantastic break down of the source materials for the Creepshow revival. The vast majority of the source material is recently published, with the exception of King's "Gray Matter". Since they are based on short stories I'll be reading them before watching the episodes:

pickThird time reading this. Fantastic collection of horror stories, including Graveyard Shift, The Mangler, Sometimes They Come Back, Children of the Corn, and many more. Strawberry Spring is one of my top favorites in this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Day 2. #7Days7Covers #CoverCrush
Care to join in the fun @nomadreader ? Just post a cover for 7 days. No explanation needed. Try to invite someone new each day.
Have fun everyone!
Half-way through my reread of Night Shift; arriving at the Trucks story, also known for the Maximum Overdrive movie. ☕️😸💚 Irish Cream Van Houtte coffee is my new recent find favourite. #coffeeandabook
#riotgrams (I was going for a spooky backlit image but the cozy blanket in the background spoils the effect somewhat!)
A few different flavours of #scarystories here, with Night Shift being the collection that made me fall in love with Stephen King as a teen.
#WeekendReads @rachelsbrittain
1. Night Shift - I'm working the night shifts, but will set a more serious reading schedule to keep me away from Xbox Skyrim. 😸⚗️
1. Pet Sematary - I really enjoyed the latest adaptation, and sure to collect it on DVD.
2. IT 2, by September. 🎈🎈
At the mall, the other day - I found myself picking up Night Shift again. It was my first King story collection, with the original cover book that must have disappeared over time. Clearance sales at the Hot Topic cosplay shop, got me a vampire lace collar. 🦇🤓 I just noticed, yesterday was World Goth Day. I did catch The Addams Family TV movies.
so-so
