King's first collection of novellas has a more dramatic than horrific bent. So rest assured: from deeply emotional stories - such as “Last Rung on the Ladder,” which is about a man who blames himself for his sister’s suicide - to gruesome post-apocalyptic tales like “Night Surf,” Night Shift has something for all horror lovers.įun facts: Six of the stories in this collection have been made into feature-length films: "Children of the Corn," "The Lawnmower Man," "Graveyard Shift," "The Mangler," and "Sometimes They Come Back.” If you’ve ever watched an 80s zombie movie and found the low-budget, unrealistic gore scarier than the high-quality effects of today’s horror films, you’ll be a fan of Night Shift: its stories might lack the finesse of some of King’s later works, but they are the stuff of nightmares nonetheless. ![]() This was King’s first collection of short stories, and let’s just say he entered this realm of literature not with a whimper, but with a bang. ![]()
