I enjoyed this collection overall. As with any short story collection, some were more successful than others. But none of them were bad enough for me to skip on to the next. I especially enjoyed “Autopsy Room Four,” “The Little Sisters or Eluria,” and “1408.” There’s an unusually high number of unhappy marriages in this collection. And everyone either smokes or is trying to quit. Every story seemed to be fueled by angsty relationships and nicotine. But I found this to be by and large and fun mix.

From the Flap:

The first collection of stories Stephen King has published since Nightmares & Dreamscapes nine years ago, Everything's Eventual includes one O. Henry Prize winner, two other award winners, four stories published by The New Yorker, and "Riding the Bullet," King's original e-book, which attracted over half a million online readers and became the most famous short story of the decade. "Riding the Bullet," published here on paper for the first time, is the story of Alan Parker, who's hitchhiking to see his dying mother but takes the wrong ride, farther than he ever intended. In "Lunch at the Gotham Cafe," a sparring couple's contentious lunch turns very, very bloody when the maitre d' gets out of sorts. "1408," the audio story in print for the first time, is about a successful writer whose specialty is "Ten Nights in Ten Haunted Graveyards" or "Ten Nights in Ten Haunted Houses," and though Room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel doesn't kill him, he won't be writing about ghosts anymore. And in "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French," terror is deja vu at 16,000 feet. Whether writing about encounters with the dead, the near dead, or about the mundane dreads of life, from quitting smoking to yard sales, Stephen King is at the top of his form in the fourteen dark tales assembled in Everything's Eventual. Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, they announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.

This is probably the first short story collection I’ve ever read that I’ve actually enjoyed all of the stories. Some were just good but a lot of them actually scared me. My favourites were “the man in the black suit”, “the road virus heads north”, “1408” and “riding the bullet”. Can’t wait to read more short story collections from King!

International bestselling author Stephen King is in terrifying top form with his first collection of short stories in almost a decade. In this spine-chilling compilation, King takes readers down a road less traveled (for good reason) in the blockbuster e-Book "Riding the Bullet," bad table service turns bloody when you stop in for "Lunch at the Gotham Cafe," and terror becomes deja vu all over again when you get "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What IT IS in French"--along with eleven more stories that will keep you awake until daybreak. Enter a nightmarish mindscape of unrelenting horror and shocking revelations that could only come from the imagination of the greatest storyteller of our time.
