Book Reviews of Nightmares and Dreamscapes
Book Review: A Bizarre Mix of Good and Bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I am an avid reader of King and have read him enough to say that Nightmares and Dreamscapes is definitely worth reading. Probably second best after Night Shift. It has horror as well as Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Literary, Crime, even a Sherlock Holmes Story! Some of my personal favorites are Suffer the Little Children, The Moving Finger, You know they got a Hell of a Band, Home Delivery, Crouch End, and The House on Maple Street. For those of you who say this is one of King's worst collections or most of the stories are bad are just fooling yourselves. For one thing, this collection has some of his most unique works. And as far as originality goes, there are plenty of those too. For instance, Suffer the Little Children, a dark, chilling story about a schoolteacher who thinks her students are actually monsters disguised as children, clearly resembles the awesome stories in Night Shift. And how many Zombie stories have you read where the source of the infestation is Outer Space?
And who can forget the Dark, Otherwordly atmosphere of Crouch End? a fantastic Mythos story. I will admit there are some bad ones, Popsy, Chattery Teeth, Sneakers, My Pretty Pony, but with clever realistic thrillers like Dolan's Cadillac and fun Horror/Fantasies like You know they got a Hell of a Band, you can't go wrong with this collection
