Nachtschicht: ungekrzte Erzhlungen | Stephen King
Ein Kind mu seine Angst vor der Dunkelheit berwinden - sonst verliert es sie nie. Stephen King hat seine Angst nie berwunden. Er versteht es, mit ihr zu leben und Millionen Leser damit in Schrecken zu versetzen. Nachtschicht stellt eine sehr persnliche Auswahl vom Besten dar, das King je geschrieben hat. Ein Stundenbuch des Grauens: Fnf ausgewhlte Kalendergeschichten, in einsamen Vigilien erzhlt, mit einem programmatischen Vorwort, in dem sich der Autor zu den Altmeistern der Schauerprosa bekennt: Der Rasenmhermann, Lastwagen, Manchmal kommen sie wieder, Der Mauervorsprung und Das Schreckgespenst.

Night Shift | Stephen King

Last month, I joined The Constant Reader book club for the first time. It‘s a monthly meetup at a local library where they only read Stephen King‘s books. November‘s meet-up is to discuss Night Shift. As a testament to King‘s skillful storytelling, many of the stories left me wanting more - in a good way! The story ends, and there could be more told, but King intentionally leaves the reader hanging.

Skeleton Crew is still my favorite of King‘s short story collections, but Night Shift is a close runner up. Tons of great stories, all suffused with a youthful vigor and anger that‘s a trademark of King‘s early work.

We went to see the latest Stephen King film adaptation today. I remember reading those 12 pages so many years ago—the ending always stuck with me. Don‘t look for the movie to be like the book—it won‘t be, though I still liked it. Lester Billings did relay a few lines straight out of the book, and the therapist‘s name is the same, but that‘s it. Almost always, you know the book is better. But, go watch it!

Every time I listen to The Kingcast I end up wanting to read or reread Stephen King. So I'm rereading my very first King - I read this many times as teenager, but haven't reread in years (because I lent out my copy and never got it back). Some stories stayed with me longer, and some I'd forgotten.

TrishB I keep thinking I‘m going to start a big re-read from the beginning. Maybe next year! 2y
Oryx @TrishB A big challenge! It's hard to balance rereads with all the new stuff. i still have gaps to plug before I get to that stage though. . I've read a lot but definitely not all. 2y
TrishB I think some of the older stuff will feel like new reads because it‘s that long ago. 2y
AmyG @TrishB I always want to do a re-read of his early work. But then I have so many other books to read. 2y

King‘s first collection of short stories holds a special place in my heart. Thus far, King was purely a horror writer to me, but a few stories here really show the breadth of his imagination and writing abilities. There are plenty of delightful chills here, but The Last Rung on the Ladder” and “The Woman in the Room” are especially poignant and remind that horror can permeate everyday life without the need for things that go bump in the night. 4⭐️

JanuarieTimewalker13 I‘m reading Four Past Midnight right now. This is the first compilation I‘ve read of his. I want to read Different Seasons and Night Shift, eventually. He‘s a trip. I should be finished with this tonight. I think I need a little respite after this. Then I‘ll come back to a full length novel of his…it may be Needful Things🤓 2y
BeckyWithTheGoodBooks FPM and Different Seasons are so good!!! And Needful Things is one of my favorites! 2y

Overall, a pretty solid collection. You can tell King was still honing his skills; no story is great, but none of them are horrible. Except The Lawnmower Man—F*** that piece of s***! Gotta be the dumbest story I‘ve ever read. 😅

Anyway… one thing King really knows how to do in these early stories is craft a final line with a punch. Standouts for me were: I Am the Doorway, The Ledge, Children of the Corn, and The Last Rung on the Ladder.

TheNeverendingTBR Gray Matter is my favourite here. 2y
BC_Dittemore @TheNeverendingTBR I liked Gray Matter quite a bit too. I‘m surprised by how divisive it is. Reading other‘s reviews, it either has a lot of love or a lot of hate; not much middle ground. 2y
TheNeverendingTBR @BC_Dittemore Night Shift is definitely the best collection of short stories I've came across. Clive Barker's Books of Blood Vol: 1-3 is a close second. 2y
BC_Dittemore @TheNeverendingTBR I‘ll add it to my list. I‘ve always liked Barker‘s films but the only thing of his I‘ve read is Coldheart Canyon. 2y
TheNeverendingTBR @BC_Dittemore Coldheart Canyon is a good one. Books of his that are EXCELLENT are Weaveworld, Imajica and The Damnation Game. I recommend all! 2y

I enjoyed very much 14 of 20 of the short stories in this collection. They are topics that we have seen in oldie movies. In some short stories I used the audiobook with physical book and the narrator was great. Even when I didn‘t enjoy much some stories I still like how Mr. King develop the characters, so many psychological aspects and how well he describe those scenes. Always critic in everything related with memorial services. 4⭐️

It's so hard to review a Stephen King collection in so few words. There's so much I could say about so many stories. The "short" of it is, anytime you get into a short story collection from The Master of Horror, you're in for a varied rollercoaster ride that you'll still find yourself thinking about for days to come. Standouts: I Am the Doorway, The Mangler, Battleground, The Ledge, Quitters, Inc., and Children of the Corn. 5/5

Tagged book wasn‘t planned on being part of #20in4. Since I had Thursday off I figured I do some warm up reading aaaaand I had a deja book moment. Apparently I read this one before? I don‘t recall much of this book except Strawberry Spring, Jerusalem‘s Lot, Last Rung on the Ladder, and of course Children of the Corn.

I‘m glad I re-read this one. I can see connections to some of his other works (Salem‘s Lot for one). With my attention span, I do better with short stories sometimes. I‘m working my way through King‘s works - according to my list from #losersclub, The Stand is next. Not such a short story, that one…

I normally don‘t enjoy short story collections, but this one is exceptional. I enjoyed every one of these stories. I just kept thinking to myself “Man, this guy can write!” It really is amazing how he can create interesting characters and plots full of suspense and dread that can be read in 10 minutes. I think my favorite story is “I am a Doorway.”

Kayla.Adriena I actually have this , I originally got it cause I'm a night shifter, you're review makes me want to read it now! 3y
Beatlefan129 @Kayla.Adriena I used to work night shift too, and there is definitely something about being awake at unnatural hours that lends itself to weird happenings 3y

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://suspensebookreviews.home.blog/2021/04/17/night-shift-by-stephen-king/

This was a collection of 20 short stories from the master story teller himself. I loved each story as much as the last. Each was unique and terrifying in their own rights, it was hard to pick a favorite. A must read for all King fans or a great place to start if you have never read his work.

Twainy I was just staring at this at B&N last night. I knew I shoulda bought it. 4y

I‘ve never loved a collection of short stories this much. Perfect lengths for reading in the car while between errands, in waiting rooms, or for a few minutes with my coffee in the morning. My favorites were: Graveyard Shift, The Mangler, Trucks, The Ledge, and The Lawnmower Man. Sidenote: there are so many murderous machines in this collection!!

Up next in my #readingStephenKing project: THE STAND!!

I did not expect to enjoy this one much at all because I tend to be bored with short story collections. However, I think these stories are awesome. So fun to read. I‘m about half thru. So far, my favorites are The Mangler (about the killer laundry ironing/folding machine) and Graveyard Shift (about the giant blind and legless rats).

This is a great collection of short stories. The most famous story of course being Children of the Corn. But all of these are scary in their own way- from the bizarre to the downright terrifying. A great place to start with Stephen King if you're looking to get a taste of his work. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I‘m currently reading “Graveyard Shift”. Along with it and the marsh rat scene in another book (tagged in spoiler below) I read this year, I can say, without a doubt, that I don‘t like rats. 😳 🤢 I probably already knew this, but it‘s definitely confirmed now.

🐀 = not cute

Soubhiville I‘m the weird one who does like rats and snakes. (I‘ve had both as pets.) 4y
Reggie Did you read about the guy in New York City who fell through a sink hole and landed in a nest of rats. When they interviewed him later he said he kept his mouth closed so none of them would go in his mouth. 🤭 4y
Bookzombie @Soubhiville I could sort of handle one in a clean environment probably. Maybe. Lol. My SIL has had snakes as pets in the past too. 4y
Bookzombie @Reggie No, I didn‘t read that! 🤢 Although good thinking on his part. It‘s one of those things that I hope all the horror books and movies have prepared me for. 4y

Despite what her expression might suggest, Suki would be fearless against a real rat. We read Night Shift because of its mutant rat story but that ended up being one of the weaker stories in the collection. There were some pretty fun ones here. This was the last book we discussed in person before everything shut down. ☹️
