Summary: Yuck!
Review: Do not be fooled. Just because this is a Stephen King book does not mean it is a good book. I don't even know where to begin.First off, there aren't too many happy endings, something I look forward to after spending (wasting?) my time reading these stories. For example, "The Jaunt" could have been one of the best and most enjoyable stories until you get to the last two pages, which in my opinion, were just plain cruel to the readers. Some, like "The Mist", just leave you hanging. This is also the only time literature has ever grossed me out, and this is not my first King book. Probably the most aclaimed story was "Survivor's Type." It was gut-wrenching gross! I later told some friends about it, and they were getting a little sick, too. "The Raft," one of the better stories, was piled with blood and goo in morbid detail. Yes, the stories are often violent. "Cain Rose Up" was the worst story about senseless (and storyless) violence. But, there are also some stories that I really enjoyed. My favorite was "Here There Be Tygers". I had a friend read it too, and she really enjoyed it. Then, there was "The Reaper's Image", which reminded me of a really good "Tales from the Crypt" episode. But those are only two stories, definately not worth the 8 bucks I spent for it. I honestly expected better.

Summary: One of the best Stephen King Books ever writen
Review: This is one of the best Stephen King books I have ever read.And trust me,I have read them all!My favorite is "Survivor Type'',a story witch main question is ''how much does the patient want to live?''.I am only 12 years old and my class mates frown upone seeing me read S.K's books every spare moment I have.I belive Mr.King is the greatist writer who ever lived.IT is his best book.

Summary: Fantastic book
Review: This is my favourite Stephen King book. "The Mist" was a masterfully written story, which will provoke nightmares (and "daymares") for years to come. "The Reach" was a very different sort of story, very touching and reassuring about the world of the dead ("Do the dead sing? Do they love?"). I reread it after my father died and it brought a lot of comfort--this from Stephen King!

Summary: Incredible Work
Review: In high school I was stuck reading books I didn't really care for, mainly because I didn't have a choice. One day a friend came up to me and handed me a paperback edition of this book. I was entranced. Short stories took on a whole new meaning for me. The first thing I read was The Mist, (naturally, it was at the beginning)and I was blown away. I felt like I was part of that story. The images and feelings were so realistic. I took my friend's advise and went straight to Survivor Type where I found yet another world and an even more perilous situation. There are few happy endings here. The world we live in contains few happy endings and Stephen King reminds us of this. He weaves a masterpiece of deception and unfathomable nightmarish creatures in Skeleton Crew. I highly recommend this along with all of his other books. I have most on Hardcover including this one. Enjoy...

Summary: We are all survivors but...
Review: The Mist was good but the best short story of all time (sorry Edgar Poe) has to be Survivor Type.
Think about it, you are a top surgeon stranded on a rocky island with nothing but pidgeons, your medical gear and lots of Cocain. What do you do? Read and weap.

Summary: An essential collection
Review: Here we see Stephen King at the height of his powers. In 'The Mist', perhaps his best ever novella, the horror is unremitting - King leaves us no way out. I was afraid to go to sleep the night I read it, and I was only halfway through. 'The Raft', however, is a mere gore laden exercise in grand guignol. Delicate constitutions stay clear. Otherwise, there's so much more going on in here, from poetry, to science fiction, horror, mystery, moving, and the outright strange. One of the best grab bags you'll ever see

Summary: No bones to pick about this book
Review: A really nice collection of stories by Stephen King (although the best is the novella collection "Different Seasons), this is your typical Stephen King, with a little surprises thrown in for a measure. The real surprises are the quiet stories like "The Raft". The best though, is one that is not for all tastes: the blackly comic "Survivor Type", about a man stranded on a desert island with heroin who, in order to keep from starving, eats himself. The last line had me rolling on the floor laughing

Summary: Spellbinding
Review: Every bit as terrifying and imaginative as Kings longer fiction. Each story grabs you and holds you, daring you to read on. Personal favorites: "Mist" and "The Raft". Don't miss out
