Based on a Stephen King short story
Moving story
A great and very original film based on a Stephen King story. Also directed by the same director as @The Shawshank Redemption (1994). Also set within a Prison as a guard tells his story of working on Death row and the inmates he came across.

Not a bad collection of Stephen King's short stories. I noticed a common theme in many of the stories being "Do you love?" and I can not help but think that it was intentional. I am not much of a short story person but I did like many of these. I just wish that Stephen King had explanations for all of the stories in the back instead of a select few.

A pretty decent horror film based on the short story by Clive Barker, which is a bit Stephen King like. It's very bloody and gruesome but the cgi effects make it less shocking. Overall a very simple idea for a film well executed but the cgi effects are over done and the story is a bit too straight forward most of the time.

The idea
One of my favourite King stories
This is one of the best Stephen King stories I have read. It has an eerie, creepy feel to it, which keeps you hanging on till the end. Not everything is explained, but that's what makes a good short story, when they leave it up to your magination to fill in the gaps. All the Bachman Books are good, this one is the best; it is King at his best.

A little too short
I'm all for a Stephen King short story/novella and as this goes this is a very good story, it's just far too short. The fact that this has been released as a separate book in it's own right is rather astounding. Not because it's not an enjoyable story, as it is, but because it doesn't even reach 130 pages. And these are very large type face, spread out pages with lots of pages of (admittedly beautiful) illustrations.
I'm guessing the illustrations are the reason why this was released on it's own, and these are some stunning illustrations, but I don't necessarily think they justify releasing this as a sole book. Despite this though, it is still a well structured and written and overall entertaining short story.
