Today, I bring you not one, not two, but a whopping twenty+ story reviews! It’s my first critical look at an anthology series from my favorite comfort author, Stephen King. Skeleton Crew includes a lot of great shorts, a few mids (like the kids like to say these days), and a few duds. But the greats more than make up for the duds.
Among my favorites are The Mist, an end-of-the-world scenario featuring a plethora of Lovecraftian monsters (my favorite trope) that was turned into an excellent movie; The Jaunt, a Sci-Fi tale that delves into the disturbing implications of transporters (that thing Leonard McCoy always worried about in the original Star Trek); The Raft, your classic 50’s monster horror brought to life by King’s psycho-driven prose; and Nona, the gripping tale of a loner, the beautiful girl he meets, and the killing spree that ensues (ending with a surprise twist).
