Review

Once again: a supershort review. Let’s just start off with saying that I LOVE KING’S SHORT STORIES. They’re just so fast-paced, thrilling and full of everything: suspicion, passion (in a good or bad way), the so well-described weather in the way only King can, and well-build up characters. All in only 90 pages!

This story describes the ultimate revenge and the way it’s done is just so well thought-through! But of course, revenge always has its other side. Where you think it will help you let the past be the past, you only create a new past to haunt you for the rest of your life.

If you’ve never read any of King’s short stories (or short story collections) I really recommend you do!
