Helpful Score: 1

Earlier in the year I read Stephen King's "Just After Sunset", a really enjoyable collection of some of his short stories. I ordered "Everything's Eventual" immediately after and was excited to get started reading it. Not all of King's stories are 5 stars but most of them are captivating, entertaining and, most importantly, scary. I found several of these stories to be really creepy and had a hard time putting the book down. In particular, "Riding the Bullet", in which a hitch hiking college student gets picked up by a corpse and " The Man in the Black Suit", in which a child encounters the Devil. A few of the stories (mainly "Everything's Eventual" and "1408") really demonstrate how creative a writer King is; some of his concepts are just so out there...yet, they really work. BTW, I had seen the movie for the story "1408" and wasn't particularly impressed. The story is much better than the movie. I'd recommend keeping this book by your bed and reading a story each night before bed. They are really fun.
