AlbertLeonhardGieg | Dec 6, 2022 |  I have been reading this book on and off for a really long time by now, but I am slowly getting attached to King's short stories, and to be honest, on average, his stories grab me more intensely in this collection than they did in [b:Night Shift|10628|Night Shift|Stephen King|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1342215309s/10628.jpg|2454497]. That doesn't mean that Night Shift didn't have some intense, scary and horrifying stories (just read Quitters, Inc., The Ledge or Sometimes They Come Back), but in Skeleton Crew, there are fewer missteps and more stories which just grab you by the throat and won't let go of your body until even after you have put down the book. Beyond the spoiler tags, a few thoughts on each story I have read so far are hidden. Proceed at your own risk. 2) Here There Be Tygers (2/5 stars) Rather badly written and poorly plotted, this story did not have the least appeal to me, though the image of being confronted with a predator at the school toilet is indeed a frightening one. No wonder it was first published a few years before King began his professional career - he was still in the writer's sandpit, just playing around with words. 3) The Monkey (2/5 stars) In which a toy monkey starts haunting an entire family. King has written worse stories, but this one just didn't do much for me. 4) Cain Rose Up (2.5/5 stars) This story felt a lot like it could have benefited from a little further investigation into the motives of the characters, so it ultimately didn't engage me that much. 5) Mrs. Todd's Shortcut 6) The Jaunt 7) The Wedding Gig 8) Paranoid: A Chant I stand firmly by my opinion that King is a terrible poet, and this poem is no exception, which is why I won't attach any rating to it. It's too short to let its existence influence my perception of the collection negatively. 9) The Raft (4.5/5 stars) A chilling and truly frightening story which further establishes this as King's finest collection of short stories. 10) Word Processor of the Gods 11) The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands 12) Beachworld 13) The Reaper's Image (3/5 stars) A rather forgettable, albeit readable little tale which thankfully wasn't stretched out too much. 14) Nona (4/5 stars) Brilliantly written and engaging from beginning to end, this horror story details the life of a doomed man who is accompanied to his own downfall by a mysterious woman he has fallen in love with. With vivid imagery, insightful details and nice connections to other books, King managed to create a suspenseful and frightening story. 15) For Owen 16) Survivor Type 17) Uncle Otto's Truck (4/5 stars) Very much a typical King story in that it tells an interesting tale about several generations of a family and infuses their history with elements of horror. Generally engaging and well-written, this is another standout from this collection. 18) Morning Deliveries & 19) Big Wheels: A Tale of The Laundry Game (Milkman #1 & #2) (2/5 stars) This story had a few interesting moments now and then, but generally conveyed nothing but a feeling of boredom and stiffness. The narrative didn't flow as easily as with King's other stories and the characters were bland stereotypes, causing this to be one of his weaker efforts. 20) Gramma (4/5 stars) A spine-tingling horror story and one of King's best short works. It still sends a shiver across my body just to think of *that* ending. 21) The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet 22) The Reach Councillor3004 | Sep 1, 2022 | The Mist: 4 stars Here There Be Tygers: 3 stars The Monkey: 3 stars Cain Rose Up: 2.5 stars Mrs Todd's Shortcut: 3 stars The Jaunt: 3.2 stars The Wedding Gig: 2 stars Paranoid: A Chant: 3.5 stars The Raft: 4 stars Word Processor of the Gods: 3 stars The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands: 3 stars Beachworld: 3 stars The Reaper's Image: 3 stars Nona: 3 stars For Owen: 2.5 stars Survivor Type: 3.5 stars Uncle Otto's Truck: 3 stars Morning Deliveries (Milkman #1): 1.5 stars Big Wheels: A Tale of the Laundry Game (Milkman #2): 1 star Gramma: 3.5 stars The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet: 4 stars The Reach: 4 stars (  ) _Marcia_94_ | Sep 21, 2021 | 3.5 ⭐️ ( ) deannachapman | Sep 15, 2021 | Most of the stories in this collection were great. 'The Mist' is the obvious standout, but other stories of equal measure include 'The jaunt', 'The Raft', and 'The Raft', among others. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good dose of horror, science fiction, and just regular human drama. (  ) bdgamer | Sep 10, 2021 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
