Worth Reading: Yes.

Summary: Just After Sunset is the latest collection of short stories from Stephen King. He mentions in the introduction that short-story writing is an art in itself which he thought he may have lost the touch for.
He hasn’t.

This is a mixed bag of 13 short stories. There is one, possibly two, that I thought could have been dropped but generally they are well written.

“The cat from hell” is classic Stephen King

“Willa” is not classic Stephen King and is a really nice tale because of it.

That last comment doesn’t read quite right. I’m a SK fan and have come to know his writing style rather well. “Willa” doesn’t conform to his classic writing style that I’ve come to know but it still a great tale, well told.

What I don’t really like (I don’t hate it) is the section where he talks about his reasons/situation for writing the story. But, he wrote it so I’ll read it.
