Brutal Misogyny submitted by unknown on June 24, 2011, 6:58am Steven King turns in his usual solid performance. The focus on rape and misogyny in these stories makes this work more brutal than most of what he has written. If these things bother you as they do me, then you may find this book rough to get through.
Highly recommend submitted by TLW1998 on July 26, 2019, 9:10pm His short stories are great. King is a master of short stories. They are less famous tales, but they are incredible.
