Excellent story-telling (in a book about telling a story!). (

So well written and classic suspense. (

This is another crazy King novella about a strange Gentlemen's club (not a stripper joint) where they like to share crazy stories with each other. The Breathing Method being one of those stories. I very much enjoyed this one. (

a good quick 30 minute read. Certainly not the best of his work but nice for a short story. (
