And to call all the stories in this hefty, nearly 500 page book, &#8220;short&#8221; stories is a bit of a stretch.  One of them is 146 pages long; in my day, we called that a &#8220;novella&#8221;.  Another is 86 pages long.  Both of them could have done with some shortening.  But I&#8217;m not complaining &#8212; King knows how to tell a story, and they are all gripping, even if some have what I felt were unsatisfying endings.
