Probably my fave SK collection of horror stories, if you made me pick one. The other collections are great as well (although I think Just After Sunset was not), but this one has wicked stories like THE LEDGE, I AM THE DOORWAY, CHILDREN OF THE CORN and STRAWBERRY SPRING. Not to mention SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK and I KNOW WHAT YOU NEED. A lot of all-out horror, perhaps derivative in concept but original and cocky in execution. A few really emotional moments as well. He can play your heartstrings, but he saves it until the last few stories. I have a huge pile of short story collections on my bookshelf, this is one I find amazing even twenty five years after the first read.
