The Skeleton Book: Get to know your bones, inside out

Product Information

Survivor Type: This one was worth the price of admission all by itself. Drugs, isolation, the will to live, and making "sacrifices." The best story of the bunch by a very wide margin. Now THIS ONE is classic King. (5+/5) At the risk of sounding cliche when referring to skeletons…proceed with caution! (See what I did there???) Survivor Type. Not terribly suspenseful, more of a gross-out story, but the lengths King goes to describe how a rogue doctor ended up marooned with surgical equipment and heroin is imaginative as hell. This one scared me! Something I really find interesting is coming across as story that scares you more you'd have thought. This one just got to me, and from the blurb it didn't sound that bad -- but it was!

This blog post will take you through an amazing list of skeleton books for kids, including picture books, chapter books and non fiction books, perfect for Halloween time or any time of the year. Best Skeleton Picture Books For Kids Particularly creepy. I found this uncomfortably believable! Anything with ominous toys/dolls tends to get under my skin. In 'The Mist' when the (less annoying) Amanda, 'screamed ceaselessly, like a firebell', Mrs. Reppler says, "Woman, shut your head" --- and I loved her in that moment! I hope I would be a Mrs. Reppler, rather than an Amanda or, returning to this story, a LaVerne. I do feel sorry for her though, considering the situation she found herself in. I´ve read most of King´s short story collections and wouldn´t suggest beginning with this one, better take one of the later works where he was a sober, super professional, and talented writing prodigy.

The Reaper’s Image: I’m not really sure what The Reaper's Image was about but it didn't really work for me or move me. (2/5) Beachworld: Here, we have a sci-fi tale of a ship stranded on a different planet, where the sand isn't everything one would expect. It’s got madness, creatures, people acting dumb. All good stuff. (4/5) The Raft - The title alone sets your mind to wondering. A raft. Water. Isolation. King’s imagination takes you beyond the norm. Give me a shark to contend with. I want off this raft. And what could be the most terrifying part of this story, is that fact that I felt like the fifth person on that raft, just trying to figure a way to shore.

Zio squinternato dalla Germania decide di prendersi una piccola casa di fronte al camion - uscito fuori strada anni fa, per un incidente - del socio d'affari, successivamente morto in circostanze misteriose. Reminiscenze di Duel al servizio di un racconto insipido: non un grande soggetto il camion né lo stesso zio Otto, stereotipato e anonimo.

The Jaunt - 4 Stars - The possibilities within this short story are endless. Plus, it features one of the creepiest lines of dialogue in any King story. A Word Processor that changes reality – a little odd. When I first read this short story I remember thinking that it wouldn't be very scary. Having said that I ended up really loving it. It is one of those Stephen King books for me that as I am reading it I am thinking what the hell am I reading but as always I just can't put it down. I think this one also has a nice message and the character growth is nice too, it is about appreciating what you have in life and not knowing what you have until it's gone.

Let’s start with the positives. There are some FANTASTIC stories in here, such as The Jaunt, The Raft, Survivor Type, Gramma, Mrs Todd’s Shortcut, Word Processor of the Gods, The Monkey and so forth. These were all a joy to read (yes, even Survivor Type. I felt joy whilst simultaneously wanting to throw up) I also noticed that quite a few of the stories are set in the fall, with some beautiful atmospheric descriptions... bonus points for that!Word Processor of the Gods - This is so good because it is the reimagining of the genie in the bottle, or “The Monkey’s Paw” by WW Jacobs. Again, it became the question of “What would I do?”, while at the same time telling its main character to STOP, or at least SLOW DOWN because I need time to think first. Fun and thrilling.

C’è Caino scatenato, che parla delle stragi a scuola per mano di studenti; credo che dopo Ossessione mi serva ben altro per apprezzare un racconto di questo tipo. The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet - 4 Stars - This is an interesting story that reflects on how certain people develop habits and mental tics while contemplating the idea of what happens when a person’s mind becomes self-destructive. It’s lengthy and it is a story that is told by someone about someone else and while that didn’t necessarily work for in me with Mrs. Todd’s Shortcut, it worked me here. I found myself being pulled into the story by the narrators' voice. Niente, le poesie di King rendono davvero male in italiano. Pure qua è meglio fare i democristiani e non esporsi.The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands: A creative curse forces a major character in this one make some difficult decisions in this interesting story. (4/5) Nona. Bumpy at the beginning, this is another terrific yarn, a jailhouse confessional by a convicted killer whose account of his raven haired, irresistible accomplice cannot be verified by any witness. It's quite creepy. The tie-in to The Body was an unexpected treat.
