A trippy collection of creepy stories。 Some were creepier than others。 There were one that seemed to fall flat for me。 A few that made me go “oh f%*#”。 Stephen King’s mind out in a collection of short stories。 Do you dare？

Enjoyable and classic Stephen King; however， "If It Bleeds" is a superior collection of short stories。 Enjoyable and classic Stephen King; however， "If It Bleeds" is a superior collection of short stories。 。。。more

In this collection of short stories， King displays a mastery of the quick take， a stark contrast to his novels。 They are longer than campfire tales but concise enough to read in one sitting and be entertained and a bit spooked。 Great short read！

Niki ，

A very atmospheric short story， quite eerie！Should have saved it for the spooky season， definitely recommend！ If you have the chance listen to the audiobook where the narrator is Stephen King himself 😊

Tirando le somme， ci troviamo davanti a un’ottima antologia， che è all’altezza del nome del suo autore e che， a mio avviso， regge perfettamente il confronto con le tre precedenti。 Certo， siamo di fronte a un King completamente diverso。 Se quello che maggiormente vi aveva colpito in A volte ritornano， Scheletri e Incubi&Deliri erano i ritmi frenetici e le idee originalissime， forse resterete un pochino delusi。 Qui i ritmi non sono frenetici e le idee spesso sono （per usare un termine del Re） dell Tirando le somme， ci troviamo davanti a un’ottima antologia， che è all’altezza del nome del suo autore e che， a mio avviso， regge perfettamente il confronto con le tre precedenti。 Certo， siamo di fronte a un King completamente diverso。 Se quello che maggiormente vi aveva colpito in A volte ritornano， Scheletri e Incubi&Deliri erano i ritmi frenetici e le idee originalissime， forse resterete un pochino delusi。 Qui i ritmi non sono frenetici e le idee spesso sono （per usare un termine del Re） delle “minestre riscaldate”。 Ma ci troviamo di fronte a uno scrittore più maturo， che affronta molti temi a lui già cari da una prospettiva diversa， da un’angolazione completamente differente。 Mi viene in mente un’immagine che il grande autore del Maine ci regala in Quattro dopo mezzanotte。 Nell’introduzione di Finestra segreta， giardino segreto， scrive di aver notato， un giorno， una piccola finestra posta all’altezza del pavimento， nella lavanderia di casa。 Dalla finestra si poteva vedere una nicchia pavimentata in mattonelle tra la casa e la veranda。 Era un posto che Zio Steve vedeva tutti i giorni… ma che non aveva mai osservato da quell’angolazione。 Da lì tutto sembrava nuovo， tutto sembrava diverso。 。。。more

I read 1408 after having seen it as an editing exercise in Stephen King's On Writing。 It's whole point is to be a typical Haunted Hotel story， and that it was。 It was fine， but i don't think nuanced enough for me to get particularly excited about。 I read 1408 after having seen it as an editing exercise in Stephen King's On Writing。 It's whole point is to be a typical Haunted Hotel story， and that it was。 It was fine， but i don't think nuanced enough for me to get particularly excited about。 。。。more

It’s a 4。5 stars。 Really enjoyed many of the short stories in this one！

Jon Ring ，

Very enjoyable short stories， with a wide range of different kinds of horror and suspense。 Of course some were better than others， but most of that comes down to personal taste。 "1408" was probably my favorite， but several others immediately struck a chord as well。 Very enjoyable short stories， with a wide range of different kinds of horror and suspense。 Of course some were better than others， but most of that comes down to personal taste。 "1408" was probably my favorite， but several others immediately struck a chord as well。 。。。more

I loved Autopsy Room 4 and a few other， but most of the stories were just boring。I thought it would be a good idea to start reading the King by a few short stories but now I think I should have jump into The Stand straight away。

Todo es eventual （2002） – Stephen King«A los ojos de Dios， ninguno de nosotros es más que una de esas moscas atadas a los hilos， y lo que importa es cuánta felicidad puedes repartir cada día。»«¿Acaso no acabábamos todos montando en la Bala？»Desde horrores sobrenaturales que parecen fuera de esta realidad， aventuras en mundos ajenos al nuestro， hasta locura， drama y terror en la cotidianidad de la vida misma， Stephen King recopila una antología 14 relatos de diverso argumento， y a cada uno acompa Todo es eventual （2002） – Stephen King«A los ojos de Dios， ninguno de nosotros es más que una de esas moscas atadas a los hilos， y lo que importa es cuánta felicidad puedes repartir cada día。»«¿Acaso no acabábamos todos montando en la Bala？»Desde horrores sobrenaturales que parecen fuera de esta realidad， aventuras en mundos ajenos al nuestro， hasta locura， drama y terror en la cotidianidad de la vida misma， Stephen King recopila una antología 14 relatos de diverso argumento， y a cada uno acompaña con una nota muy interesante donde describe el origen de las ideas que dieron pie a las historia que narra， mostrándonos la manera de pensar del autor y descubriendo parte del proceso creativo que subyace en ellas。El objetivo principal de estos relatos es entretener y pasar el rato， una historia corta que se puede disfrutar de una tarde libre， en un pequeño viaje o una noche antes de （o para no） dormir。 La fórmula clásica de King es algo que se puede apreciar: gente común a quien les ocurren sucesos inesperados y deberán lidiar con ello， en algunas ocasiones son bien llevadas a cabo， con dosis de drama y suspenso， pero en otras no se logra cerrar satisfactoriamente el argumento propuesto。 Si bien no considero que sean las mejores historias del autor， ni de lejos， hay algunas que se rescatan por que sí lograron su cometido。«Sala de autopsias número 4»Un magnífico y aterrador relato， donde se juega con la idea de la incertidumbre hacia la muerte， y desesperación por ser presa de la negligencia que una sala de autopsias encierra entre sus paredes。 «Las Hermanitas de Eluria»Un joven pistolero llamado Roland se encuentra con los horrores que el pueblo de Eluria está por desatar。 Una precuela de La Torre Oscura， pero que puede ser leída y disfrutada aún sin conocer esta saga。«Esa sensación que sólo puede expresarse en francés»La angustia de sentirse atrapado en una serie de sucesos que se sienten como si ya hubieran sido vividos puede convertirse en un ciclo interminable。«1408»Un escritor que investiga casos paranormales está por descubrir que una habitación embrujada algunas veces alberga cosas peores que fantasmas， quizá entidades ajenas a estos mundos。 «Montando en la Bala»Un viaje en autostop puede llegar a ser extraño y muy aterrador。 Pues la muerte ronda cerca， y el miedo no tardará en asechar。 Este relato había sido publicado de manera independiente， pero puede encontrarse en este libro， y como dato curioso es el primer relato de la historia estrenado mundialmente en internet。Esta antología recopila una variedad de historia， donde varias se alejan del terror y misterio que envuelven el nombre de Stephen King， puede ser disfrutado por cualquiera que se adentre en sus páginas y puede ser una puerta de entrada para quienes no le conozcan y/o deseen leer algo diferente。 Cabe mencionar que el relato que da nombre al libro «Todo es eventual»， está relacionado con la saga de La Torre Oscura y puede aportar cierta información a la trama。 Algunas de ellas no son las mejores historias de King， pero para nada es un desperdicio。 。。。more

A great way for "The master of horror" （and other genres） to represent himself to the masses。 There is not one story that I did not like。 All 14 of them were great in there own inevitable way。 This was the first King I ever read and I don't regret choosing it。 A great way for "The master of horror" （and other genres） to represent himself to the masses。 There is not one story that I did not like。 All 14 of them were great in there own inevitable way。 This was the first King I ever read and I don't regret choosing it。 。。。more

There were a couple stories that didn’t fully strike my fancy but the rest more than made up for it。 This was my first Stephen King book in awhile， and I forget how much mastery he has over the written word。 Definitely picking up another SK book soon！

Cristina ，

Libro de relatos。 Y como en este tipo de novelas， siempre hay alguno de ellos que gusta más。 Es entretenido， y sigue la línea narrativa de Stephen King。 interesante

3，5~3，75 estrellas。 Como en toda antología hay relatos mejores y peores pero no creo que haya ninguno "malo"。 Pese al título algunos no me han resultado oscuros。 Mis favoritos han sido: "todo lo que amas se te arrebatará"， "las hermanitas de Eluria"， "el virus de la carretera viaja al norte" y "montado en la bala"。 3，5~3，75 estrellas。 Como en toda antología hay relatos mejores y peores pero no creo que haya ninguno "malo"。 Pese al título algunos no me han resultado oscuros。 Mis favoritos han sido: "todo lo que amas se te arrebatará"， "las hermanitas de Eluria"， "el virus de la carretera viaja al norte" y "montado en la bala"。 。。。more

I enjoyed this collection overall。 As with any short story collection， some were more successful than others。 But none of them were bad enough for me to skip on to the next。 I especially enjoyed “Autopsy Room Four，” “The Little Sisters or Eluria，” and “1408。” There’s an unusually high number of unhappy marriages in this collection。 And everyone either smokes or is trying to quit。 Every story seemed to be fueled by angsty relationships and nicotine。 But I found this to be by and large and fun mix I enjoyed this collection overall。 As with any short story collection， some were more successful than others。 But none of them were bad enough for me to skip on to the next。 I especially enjoyed “Autopsy Room Four，” “The Little Sisters or Eluria，” and “1408。” There’s an unusually high number of unhappy marriages in this collection。 And everyone either smokes or is trying to quit。 Every story seemed to be fueled by angsty relationships and nicotine。 But I found this to be by and large and fun mix。 。。。more

8/10Bardzo ciekawy， równy zbiór - siłą są przede wszystkim świetne pomysły， choć - co znamienne dla Kinga - niektóre nie rozwijają się odpowiednio satysfakcjonująco， całość jest jednak jednym z najlepszych zbiorów opowiadań。 „Prosektorium numer cztery” - 8/10; świetne， choć bliźniaczo podobne do jednego z odcinków "Opowieści z krypty"。。。„Człowiek w czarnym garniturze” - 8/10; klimatyczne i niepokojące„Wywiozą ci wszystko co kochasz” - 6。5/10; niezły pomysł， ale prowadzi trochę donikąd， niemniej 8/10Bardzo ciekawy， równy zbiór - siłą są przede wszystkim świetne pomysły， choć - co znamienne dla Kinga - niektóre nie rozwijają się odpowiednio satysfakcjonująco， całość jest jednak jednym z najlepszych zbiorów opowiadań。 „Prosektorium numer cztery” - 8/10; świetne， choć bliźniaczo podobne do jednego z odcinków "Opowieści z krypty"。。。„Człowiek w czarnym garniturze” - 8/10; klimatyczne i niepokojące„Wywiozą ci wszystko co kochasz” - 6。5/10; niezły pomysł， ale prowadzi trochę donikąd， niemniej ma coś w sobie„Śmierć Jacka Hamiltona” - 6/10; typowy średniak„W sali egzekucyjnej” - 7。5/10; jest pomysł， jest napięcie， szkoda tylko， że finał rozmyty„Siostrzyczki z Elurii” - tylko dla fanów "Mrocznej Wieży"„Wszystko jest względne” - 8/10; byłoby wybitnie， gdyby nie zbyt szybkie zakończenie， jakby bez puenty„Teoria zwierząt domowych L。T。” - 7/10; może gdybym miał psa albo kota doceniłbym bardziej„Drogowy wirus zmierza na północ” - 6。5/10; też można odnieść wrażenie， że dało się zeń wycisnąć więcej„Obiad w Gotham Café” - 7/10; dobre， ale raczej nie zostaje w głowie na dłużej„To wrażenie można nazwać tylko po francusku” - 6/10; i znowu - poczucie niewykorzystania pomysłu„1408” - 8。5/10; autentycznie niepokojące！„Jazda na kuli” - 9/10; chyba najlepsze ze wszystkich， dobrze skomponowane i straszne„Szczenśliwa moneta” - 6/10; średniak na koniec - może gdybym przeczytał na początku， byłoby lepiej， ale po dwóch najlepszych opowiadaniach wypada trochę bezbarwnie 。。。more

I bought this collection because of the short story it contains that is related to The Dark Tower series; it ended up being full of amazing shorts that I absolutely loved - Riding the Bullet， The Man in the Black Suit （a modern-ish telling of Young Goodman Brown）， The Theory of Pets， Room 1408。 Definitely a must read for any fan of King。

This was my first foray into Stephen King and I am looking forward to reading more。

Personally， I liked this book， because it consists of some really great stories， but it is still a slight letdown， more so because I really enjoyed King's other collection （Night Watch）。I didn't like some of the stories because they felt 'filler' and unnecessary， and at some point， I felt that King just shoved everything he wrote in this collection and said - send it to the publisher！ I have a feeling that there are not enough horror stories （I was a bit disappointed with 1408， seems that the mo Personally， I liked this book， because it consists of some really great stories， but it is still a slight letdown， more so because I really enjoyed King's other collection （Night Watch）。I didn't like some of the stories because they felt 'filler' and unnecessary， and at some point， I felt that King just shoved everything he wrote in this collection and said - send it to the publisher！ I have a feeling that there are not enough horror stories （I was a bit disappointed with 1408， seems that the movie was a huge upgrade on the story）， but even though I liked every other story - when King is good， he is really good！For example， I really liked "Autopsy Room Four" and "The Man in the Black Suit"， "Little Sisters of Eluria" were a welcome addition to the "Dark Tower" saga and Roland Deschain， "The Road Virus Heads North" and "Riding the Bullet" were my personal favorites in this collection - short， dreadful， terrifying。 As mentioned， other stories were a bit underwhelming。 。。。more

This is probably the best collection of shot stories yet。 I really enjoyed some of them， and overall liked most of them in general。 I don't think there is a single one I would say I just disliked， although there were a few that didn't quite thrill me。 But they were still good！Autopsy Room Four - 3/5I love the concept of this because it's super creepy。 And it has a lot of quick set emotions from the main character。Overall I think I was kind of disappointed because it ended up being a little less This is probably the best collection of shot stories yet。 I really enjoyed some of them， and overall liked most of them in general。 I don't think there is a single one I would say I just disliked， although there were a few that didn't quite thrill me。 But they were still good！Autopsy Room Four - 3/5I love the concept of this because it's super creepy。 And it has a lot of quick set emotions from the main character。Overall I think I was kind of disappointed because it ended up being a little less serious than I'd have liked for the concept， but it was still good。The Man In The Black Suit - 3/5A good level of creepy。 Not too long and decently paced。All That You Love Will Be Carried Away - 4/5I wasn't too sure about this one but at the end I was just sad。 You really just feel bad for the protagonist。 And it's very real。The Death of Jack Hamilton - 2。5/5This is one of the ones where it's just not my kind of style of story。 I understand it's semi based on actual fact and that is honestly terrifying。 But as a whole it's just not for me。 It's not at all bad though。In the Deathroom - 2。5/5Two in a row that just aren't my kind of thing。 But again， not bad at all。 I just base these ratings off my level of enjoyment。The Little Sisters of Eluria - 4。5/5This just made me even more excited to reread The Dark Tower。 I went back and forth on when to read this， like if I should wait until I'd read The Gunslinger again。 But I'm glad I didn't。 You definitely don't need to have read it to enjoy it， like SK said in the preface。 Roland isn't my favourite character， that goes to Cuthbert， but I still just can't wait。 I'm so close too。Everything's Eventual - 3/5This reminded me very very much of The Institute。 I guess technically it's the other way around， but I'd completely forgotten that this story existed。 I love the concept but the main character didn't exactly grab me so it got a lower rating。L。T。's Theory of Pets - 3/5I had a cat named Lucy and she was insane as a kitten， so I can relate a bit to this。 But I love my Lil lady。The creepy ending really made it better。 Overall a good and short read。The Road Virus Heads North - 2。5/5I thought this related back to The Stand because the title is vaguely Plagelike， but I realize now I'm just thinking of Night Surf from Night Shift。I don't really like the concept of this story so it didn't really thrill me。 But I still didn't outright dislike it。 It was done really well and it didn't ramble on。Lunch at the Gotham Café - 3/5I love the cover of this book， and this is the story it comes from。 So it makes me a little sad I didn't love it more。 I think it's just the maître d' being a little too insane and incoherent that did it in for me。 EEEEEEE doesn't translate super well and all I can think of is a robot？ I don't know。That Feeling， You Can Only Say What It Is In French - 5/5My favourite in this collection。 It definitely has an overall unsettling tone， and it can also be a bit confusing maybe。 Confusing probably isn't the most accurate word。 But whatever。Anyway。 When I realized what was happening I really really loved it。1408 - 3。5/5I like this story， and I also liked the movie。 Something of a rarity for SK。 It wasn't as overly descriptive as I think I would have liked （for once） but it's still a really solid read。 The conversation with the Manager was around the same length， if not longer as the stay in the room itself。 But I actually enjoyed the conversation with Olin so that's good。 The second creepy hotel themed work， but The Shining will always win out。Riding The Bullet - 3/5What was the other one with dead people in cars？ Was it Christine？ I think so。 I didn't like Christine。This is better， but because it has a huge overlaying plot of choosing between morality and mortality。 Can you ever pick the right choice？ It's just kind of a sad story。Luckey Quarter - 3/5Can I please have this quarter？ I'd be happier with it than Darlene。 。。。more

Stephen King’s reputation makes him out to be some sort of monster， a book-writing monster who spews out thousands of pages of bloody garbage pandering to the basest tastes of the lowest denizens of cheap horror houses。 This reputation is wrong， and if you need evidence， look no further than Everything’s Eventual。 This collection of short stories ably demonstrates not only King’s skill as a writer and storyteller， but also his diversity。 Some of these stories are humorous， some suspenseful， some Stephen King’s reputation makes him out to be some sort of monster， a book-writing monster who spews out thousands of pages of bloody garbage pandering to the basest tastes of the lowest denizens of cheap horror houses。 This reputation is wrong， and if you need evidence， look no further than Everything’s Eventual。 This collection of short stories ably demonstrates not only King’s skill as a writer and storyteller， but also his diversity。 Some of these stories are humorous， some suspenseful， some introspective， and some even （dare I say it？） sweet。 Yes， there are moments of violence， and one or two certified bloodbaths， but only a couple （especially “The Road Virus Heads North”） that are truly the nightmarish。 And—surprise！—many of these stories have happy endings！ Throughout the book， perhaps the quality that shines most of all is King’s love of writing。 He’s good， he knows he’s good， and he’s happy to share his talent with us。 Luckey us！ 。。。more
