Just After Sunset by Stephen King (2008, Hardcover)

I found this collection of short stories very engaging and hard to put down, just like the earlier King works. Some stories are twilight zone-esque, others could be full novels (and I hope that Mr. King decides to go back and expand on some of the stories and characters.) All in all a highly recommended book that is great for reading for those who commute via public transportation due to story length and readability.

This is an anthology of previously published short stories with the exception of one. If you are a King fan, you'll end up getting this because of the one you haven't read. You may not have seen all of these because of the magazine vareity and dates of publication.

I love the book. It is in perfect condition and a very good price. I love Stephen King's books and am a big collector of them.

great condition, speedy delivery. very satisfied. Bought for a gift for Christmas. Happy with purchase.

A nice collection of short stories that keeps you turning the page! Stephen King has done it again! Don't have time to read a novel? Just read one story at a time!

im a big stephen king fan and i like collecting his novels i decided to buy this book on ebay because the price was just right and the transaction was good and i was very pleased with the service and im leaving a good review

I have the entire King Library, just because I dont like one book doesnt mean I wont get it. The earlier short story collections were excellent for the most part, but this one is almost grasping at staws, too many of the stories are almost bad copies of earlier short stories.

I have always enjoyed Stephen King and was excited to check out his new book. It is a great compilation of short stories .

I'm a totally biased constant reader who has never disliked anything he's written, so I loved it and was entertained for hours and of course, wish it would never end. I prefer the novels over the short stories but they were nonetheless wonderful reading and I especially liked the story about the cat from hell because I currently have a cat who is quite psychotic and sometimes freaks me out but I know he loves me so I tolerate his quirkiness. This would be a perfect novel for a 1st time Kinger, not too far out there and just enough scariness to whet the appetite for a full-course meal, or in this case, novel.

My theory on why everyone should read Stephen King, not just demented folks like me who have grown up reading horror and watching horror because it's, well, fun and gross, is that someday he will be seen as the Edgar Allen Poe of our generation, a classic writer worthy of acclaim outside the narrow genre of horror novelist. His characters are multi-dimensional and complex, good doesn't always win over evil and just when you think you got it figured out, something unexpected happens. However, the most important characteristic of a King novel is that it pulls you in and takes you over by its realism, created by using everyday popular advertising, songs, products, mundane activities, scenes that we can all relate to on some level. You feel a part of the story and sometimes even care about the characters and what happens in their world.

On a final note. Just read the book. You'll see what I mean. I have read many of them more than once as I've matured and they are timeless classics, some more than others but all of them still worthy in their own way.

I bought this book because I collect Stephen King books. I haven't had time to finish it yet but so far it lives up to what ever reader expects from his books.

I've always enjoyed King's short story compilations. Night shift,Everythings' eternal,Four past midnight etc. have always provided excellent reading. These are great to have along on trips or to kill a few lazy hours. As with compilations with all media,some stories,songs,etc. are better than others. Over all this is a good collection to snuggle up with.

I have not try as I must read a good Stephen King books in YEARS!!!! This one WAS one of the better books that he has come out with,I love the short stories.I miss the talent Mr.King used to droll out onto this pages and kept me captivated.Thank GOD his son,JOE HILL has started writing-he has the fire and spark for the truley macabre that his dad seems to be laking as of late.Better luck next time I guess.

as a gift for my husband-he's always enjoyed Stephen King's books. this book has short stories and enjoys a quick read.

I have bought alot of books from ebay and this is the first time that I have been unhappy with my purchase.It was not in good condition.

I was so excited when I heard that King had another book of short stories out because I absolutely love his short stories. This was an extreme disappointment, though. Do not buy this book if you are expecting frightening, attention-grabbing stories. There are one or two titles in the book that I enjoyed, but, for the most part, it was nothing special. It definitely wasn't worth the $15 I payed for it.

I am awaiting in its arrival but super thrilled to be getting it.. Can't wait to read it.. Thanks in advance...

I bought this for a gift, it was not expensive but when i gifted it and my mom unwrapped it a pay pal receipt fell out and it was kind of embarrassing.

I bought it for my Boyfriend for Christmas. The reason is Steven King is one of his favorite authors, This was a 2008 publication so I knew he didn't already have it. And he was very happy with it.

i didnt buy the book for myself, it was for a gift, but it was good length and had a mysterious cover.

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster

same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
