Of course, as I pointed out in my review of Night Sift, I hadn’t developed the focus needed to stick with finishing a story I started reading, and soon I found myself getting distracted by shiny things, managing to only finish two stories before losing track of the copy. I remember how excited I was on the car ride back home, anxious to tear into this book having gotten hooked on Stephen King earlier in the school year, this was just another fix for this burgeoning pop literary junkie…and budding frustrated writer. I bought the mass paperback copy at a supermarket, with some of the money that was gifted me at my confirmation a week prior.
My own personal history with reading this book starts in the summer of 1988. By the time Skeleton Crew was released, Stephen King had a number of literary hits out of the park, with a few of them already adapted into movies. The second collection of short stories penned by Stephen King was a bit more ambitious than its predecessor, Night Shift.
Welcome to the world of terror! Let the one and only Stephen King take you into a world where a macabre mist traps humanity in its swirling horror…where a beautiful young girl offers satanic seduction…where a child’s toy becomes the ultimate instrument of evil…where a man is given a devilish machine that grants him godlike powers…where nothing is what it seems and nowhere is safe…Stephen King takes you into this world–and the skill that makes him the most spellbinding storyteller of our time will not let you escape before the final fearful turn of the page.
