This was a surprise, and not a good one. This is King's worst collection thus far by a substantial margin. Fortunately, this mess of disjointed, mean-spirited, and unfun stories is made (surprisingly) enjoyable overall due to some absolute gems throughout. Standout stories that are this entry's saving grace include Mile 81, Batman and Robin Have an Altercation, Ur (always excellent), Blockade Billy, The Little Green God of Agony, and Obits. 3/5
