Summary: Mediocre
Review: I dont understand what everyone is talking about. These stories are not that good. Half of them are so average that I forget that they are written by the supposedly horror master Stephen King. Half of the stories are average, and the rest are down right bad. I only enjoyed about 5 of the 20+ stories. I was truly disappointed. A few of the stories were so bad that I find myself asshamed to having read them. However, I will give credit where credit is due. The story about the army men was a very good read. It was very exciting and interesting. The story about the trucks was readible; and all of the stories which spawned movies except the lawnmower man were all Ok.In particular I found that Children of the Corn was a great short story. I was very surprised.

Summary: A very good collection of short stories.
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. All the stories in the book are good and very readable, none of them are boring. I particularly enjoyed 'Sometimes they come back', 'I know what you need', 'Quitters Inc.' and 'Children of the corn'.I would go into the storylines but as these are all such short stories with a twist in the tail I would probably end up spoiling them for you. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes good horror stories. I am sure you will enjoy them. I wouldn't give this book five stars because although all the stories are good and scary, none of them really 'dragged me in', none of them made me 'genuinely' scared rather than just scared 'for the characters'.

Summary: Very Scary
Review: This was my first time reading King's short stories and I was not disappointed. They all start in the middle of the action, and then explain later how they got there. All of the stories are great and many have been made into movies. After reading "The Boogeyman" you'll be checking your closets at night. If you have only read his novels check this one out I think you'll like it!

Summary: Chilling Stories
Review: I am usually a reader of SK's novels but last summer I decided to buy Night Shift to read some of his short stories. I love them! They hold the same amount of "Kingness" if you will, as the novels. My favorite stories in this book include "The Ledge", "I Know What You Need", "Gray Matter", "Quitters,Inc.", and "I Am the Doorway". Once reading this book I also recommend Skeleton Crew and Nightmares and Dreamscapes, which are also collections of short stories.

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: I'd read a Stephen King novel before this (Insomnia) and it was very good so i decided to check this one out of the library. The are many stories in here which were made into movies, and i recommend that you read the stories before you see the movies, it spoils them. If you read Salems' Lot, than there are two stories in here, "Jerusalems Lot" and "One for the Road" that you might like. My favorites were, "Gray Matter" "The Boogeyman" "I am the Doorway" "Battleground" "Strawberry Spring" "The Ledge" and "The Mangler"

Summary: Good
Review: This was overall a pretty good book, I got it out of the library just to see his style of writing, and it really freaked my out! I wouldn't recommend reading any of these before bed. The Mangler and Jeruselem's Lot were pretty scary. (Although The Mangler left you hanging on a cliff.) I didn't get farther than "The Boogeyman", I got sick of the short stories and am now getting Carrie.

Summary: Stephen King's Best Short Story Collection, The Boogeyman!
Review: I recommend this very highly if you are a fan of horror fiction mostly because this is King's anthology that includes one of the scariest, most disturbing short stories of all time (at least that I've read) entitled simply, The Boogeyman. That childhood monster that never really goes away. If you have any conscience what so ever this story will rattle you, I can only think of two other short stories that I would say are scarier; H.P. Lovecraft's The Rats in The Walls and Algernon Blackwood's The Wendigo. The rest of the stories in the collection are undeniably King (if you liked Salem's Lot you get a glimpse of the shadows in the town in Jerusalem's Lot, a fantastic atmosphere piece). It's fun reading, what short stories should be and IF (note the capitalization) you have a love of entertaining, interesting reading you just might want to pick this one up. If you're not particularly a Stephen King fan I'd recommend borrowing this book from your local library just to read The Boogeyman, 'cause it's gonna end up in future horror fiction text books.

Summary: Great
Review: Upon reading this book it becomes apparent why King became as famous as he is. This past summer I had a job in a museum and I am still thanking this book for the company it gave me. Stories of particular interest are "Jerusalem's Lot", "The Boogeyman", "One for the Road", "The Ledge", and "Graveyard Shift".
Rating:
Summary: sometimes a little too scary!
Review: I'd recommend this book on the boogeyman alone. It is probably the scariest damn thing I've ever read. Some of these stories didn't do much for me, but most of them move along at a good clip, are extremely vivid, and more than a little dark and scary.
Rating:
Summary: WOW
Review: This was great! My favorite stories were "Quitters, Inc.", "The Mangler", "The Boogeyman", and "Sometimes They Come Back". I also enjoyed "Gray Matter" and "Children of the Corn". However, if you don't like any of these stories, buy this book for the story "The Last Rung on the Ladder". Pure genius!
