  • In "Lunch At The Gotham Café", Steve Davis is suffering through intense withdrawal---from both nicotine and his wife. His desperation for a cigarette and for his ex are almost too much to bear, but that's nothing compared to the horrors that await him at a trendy Manhattan restaurant.
    In "1408" Mike Enslin, best selling author of "true" ghost stories, decides to spend the night in New York City's most haunted hotel room. But he must live to write about it without the help of his ex best-friends, his trusty smokes.
    And in, "In The Deathroom", a man named Fletcher is held captive in a South American stronghold. His captors will use any tortuous means necessary to extract the information they want from him. His only hope lies with his last request---one last cigarette, please.

    I met my ex husband in Florida,we got married and when he said he had family in Maine and wanted to move here, the main reason I considered it was because I loved Stephen King and I knew all his stories took place in Maine.❤️

    Enjoyed these short stories in this manner. Not as satisfying as a SK novel but covers the Jonesing like a cigarette behind the ear. Unlit... This is my first SK since starting his novel where a car is driven into a crowd, don't recall the title, dunno why but that beginning creeped the hell outta me to the point where I still have no desire to continue reading. SK rang the bell on that one. Ding Ding Ding!! Lovecraft never started a book that affected me, that freaking freaked me out like that. Can someone remind me of the title of the SK novel that I referred to? I think the car... dunno. Guess I forgot the title as a defense mechanism. But *Edit by the cat* maybe finishing it should be on my bucket list. Gotta know. Gotta know how to kill ALL the monsters 👻

      He may be a very creative imaginative writer, but it doesn’t mean he’s capable of reading his own work. Arrogance on his part. Yes, I don’t like his narration at all except this story, funnily enough. When I bought the cassette of the stories in the 90s he was reading this all of the stories so I I’m just used to hearing these stories read by him alone I’m sure since then that other than the writers that have read the same stories, but I think because I’m so used to reading them I wouldn’t like The other narrator..
