Stephen King’s Scariest Stories

Stephen King has become one of literature’s most complex cases: once more or less the only horror writer everyone in the country had read, he’s evolved into a subtle master of letters who moves nimbly between literary works, fantasy, mystery, horror, and books that combine all of the above.
