nightmares and dreamscapes by stephen king

Popsy is a pretty short thing, and is really mysterious and intriuging, ending on a creepy note that just makes you realize what's going on. So far my favourite stories fro this book have been Popsy (guy kidnaps a child who has a friend looking for him) and You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band (couple end up lost in a town with people who look like rockstars), but mostly Popsy, because You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band sums up my problem a lot. Even though probably the main reason I love King is for his characters and the way he fleshes them and their history out, it's starting to niggle that all of the stories in here feel like the horror is just completely buried by normality and normal life (which is how I feel about a lot of his books, It especially, but that's a whole other story). It's not been so bad with his other collections, but most of the ones I've read in N&D so far have felt just way too flabby, with a lot of uninteresting, irrelevant detail. fuck, lots of reasons, that even though his long books tend to be too long, his short stories feel like he's trying to stuff the same amount of story into a much smaller space. I've not been the biggest fan of his short stories, because. Having only skipped Roadwork and The Talisman (both of which I will come back to), I'm up to Nightmares & Dreamscapes, which I'm almost halfway through, and well.

Just to explain, I've been trying to read SK's stuff in order since I first read him last year with 11/22/63.
