A bunch of short stories. "My Pretty Pony" my favorite. If my granddaughter asks me to tell her a story I will try to say this one. I liked the bad bat men and women that appeared in a few of the stories. "The Doctor's Case" was fun to read. The one to skip: "The Moving Finger."

As with most of Stephen King's short story collections, there are a number of stories here that I love, some I'm indifferent to, and one or two I didn't connect with.

However, Nightmare and Dreamscapes is probably my 3rd favorite collection of his, right behind Night Shift and Skeleton Crew. Many of the stories -- in particular, "The Moving Finger", "The Ten O'Clock People", "Suffer the Little Children", "Dolan's Cadillac", and "Chattery Teeth" -- have been hugely influential on my writing. Similarly, stories like "The End of the Whole Mess" and "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band" have a sneaking eerieness that I didn't totally appreciate in high school, but now have a hard time shaking.

Dolan's Cadillac--5 🌟 (p.11)--Really the only reason I reserved this book from the library. The only reason I looked it up? Because I saw the tale-end of the movie and got intrigued.
La venganza es un plato que se sirve frío....A gangster is observed committing a crime by a man's wife, and though she's placed in the Witness Protection Program, she is wiped out--by dynamite as she starts her car. The husband takes much trouble and long years planning his vengeance. Yomm...sweet!
The End of the Whole Mess--3 stars (p.73)--Do you want to be Happy or do you want peace? ( )

Classic master of horror Stephen King delivers to us readers on a silver platter creepy short stories that make us not want to go to sleep!

No wonder I have been having restless nights while reading this book! Personal favorites are: Dolan's Cadillac, The Night Flier, Chattery Teeth, The Moving Finger, and The House on Maple Street.

For readers that want farfetched, strange, creepy, weird, crazy, out of this world stories, then look no further than this book.

For Stephen King fans this is a "must have" book for your collection! Giving it five stars for keeping me "creeped" out! ( )

NIGHTMARES AND DREAMSCAPES BY STEPHEN KING is a series of short& novella stories that goes back to Kings early days . He always has said he likes short stories & in my opinion I think NIGHTMARES AND DREAMSCAPES is one of his best short stories books. So , Constant Reader, as Mr.King calls us fans of his, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride. Of all of his short stories I have to think my total favorite is CHATTERY TEETH which is in this book. My son, who is also a King Constant Reader agrees. While on vacation I happened to find a set of Chattery Teeth & brought it home as a gag present for my son! He loved them! So sit back, turn the lights on, put on your favorite tunes & enjoy NIGHTMARES AND DREAMSCAPES BY STEPHEN KING
