Critics Review
-
One of the great storytellers of our time
GUARDIAN
-
The midlength narrative suits King's talents particularly well . . . Stories that cover a surprising amount of emotional territory but can still be read in a sitting
WASHINGTON POST
-
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption remains one of [King's] most deeply humane and hopeful works of fiction
VARIETY
-
As classic as King's novels are, his shorter fiction is just as gripping
