Night Shift

Night Shift -Stephen King’s first collection of stories- is an early showcase of the depths that King’s wicked imagination could plumb. In these 20 tales, we see mutated rats gone bad («Graveyard Shift»); a cataclysmic virus that threatens humanity («Night Surf,» the basis for The Stand); a smoker who will try anything to stop («Quitters, Inc.»); a reclusive alcoholic who begins a gruesome transformation («Gray Matter»); and many more. This is Stephen King at his horrifying best.
