"Nightmares and Dreamscapes" by Stephen King
However, there were a couple of stories that I did enjoy very much: “The End of The Whole Mess” with its post-apocalyptic overtones and original way of telling the story about how a man who desired peace on Earth wound up doing more harm than good; “Dedication,” which is a brilliant story about two older women reminiscing over the life of a famous writer, who’s character was "flawed" to say the least - apparently inspired by a true life event when King met a "very famous author" who turned out to be a real prick (he doesn't say who); “It Grows On You,” - a simple, “New England” tale with all the pleasures and especially the ‘warts’ that come with living in a small town; “Dolan’s Cadillac,” with its “noir” sensibility, a story of revenge was enjoyable, although I found the plot a little far fetched, but it reminded me of those old noir type stories one would have read in the early pulp magazines like Black Mask.
I admit that my bias for King’s work leans more towards his non-horror stories and it’s a great misconception that horror is all King writes about. Add to this that he’s got a great gift for storytelling in general. For those who love horror and fantasy, you can’t go wrong here, but most of them just didn’t do it for me this time around.
