Today on the bus on my way home from the job I finally finished reading Stephen King’sEverything’s Eventual (in Swedish though…). This book is a collection of 14 of his short stories:

  1. Obduktionsrum fyra (org. Autopsy Room Four)
  2. Mannen i den svarta kostymen (org. The Man in the Black Suit)
  3. Allt du älskar kommer att försvinna (org. All That You Love Will Be Carried Away)
  4. Jack Hamiltons död (org. The Death of Jack Hamilton)
  5. I dödsrummet (org. In the Deathroom)
  6. Elurias små systrar (org. Little Sisters of Eluria)
  7. Allting är slutgiltigt (org. Everything’s Eventual)
  8. L.T’s husdjursteori (org. L.T.’s Theory of Pets)
  9. Vägviruset drar norrut (org. The Road Virus Heads North)
  10. Lunch på Café Gotham (org. Lunch at the Gotham Cafe)
  11. Den där känslan, som man bara kan säga vad den heter på franska (org. That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is In French)
  12. 1408 (org. 1408)
  13. En åktur i kulan (org. Riding the Bullet)
  14. Lyckeslanten (org. Luckey Quarter)

(I copy-pasted the list from Wikipedia). I originally put this book on my wishlist just for the novle 1408 (which you’ve probably seen as a movie). Several of these stories have also been made as movies. I liked all of them. Some were better than others (The man in the Black Suit, Riding the Bullet, 1408, Lunch at the Gotham Cafe and The Road Virus Heads North were the best ones in my opinion). Little Sisters of Eluria is a story that relates to The Dark Tower series, and the main character in the novel is of course Roland.

Buy this book. You’ll like it.
