Re: Favourite Stephen King (POSSIBLE SPOILERS, DON"T READ IF YOU HAVEN"T READ GG)

I've got to say that EVERYTHINGS EVENTUAL is one of the greatest short story
collections of all times. ( right behind Laymon's FIENDS, and Campbell's
COLD PRINT). 

The story dealing with the hotel room is quite surreal, I believe it is called
1408, but I could be wrong. The other stories though are masterpieces. From
"Riding the Bullet", right down to the autopsy story (which scared the hell
outta me)

Reading short stories from King, is like going to an amusement park. You
line up for hours sometimes, and sometimes you are disappointed with the
payoff; but, usually, you jump back in line again!!
