King at his best
This is one of the first Stephen King books I remember reading, probably when I was far too young at around the age of 10/11, if not earlier. I loved it then, I loved it the handful of times I've picked it up over the past 2 decades and having decided to read it again this week, I still love it.

King is my favourite author, and it's books like this that really highlight why. I've never before known an author who can bring such detail and intrigue into 20 different short stories, even those stories that are only a few pages long. He's a master storyteller and this book is a great example. Every single story is engaging and filled with horror, telling you just enough to leave you satisfied and not feeling like you're missing out and with a well developed plot and characters.

Out of these 20 short stories, I'd only highlight one of these that is maybe weaker than the rest: 'The Woman in the Room' and this isn't bad, just more that it's lacking in the horror that the rest of the stories have and it's a shame because this is the final story. But aside from this every single story is a brilliant read and if you ever want to find a place to start reading Stephen King, without tackling his major epic novels, there's no finer place to start than this.

This show debuted alongside "Droids" in 1985 and was my least favorite of the two shows. I was a teenager when this came out and it was primarily geared toward younger kids. The poor quality animation would have been tolerable if the stories would have been good.
  
Five stories (or would that be chapters) from the Diary of River Song. The shorts are interesting, if not exactly fulfilling. They definitely get better and more absorbing as they go, with many moments that remind us why we loved River to begin with. For a full review, visit www.travelingthevortex.com

Oh my gosh! I hate when I get all caught up with a series & am forced to wait for the next book to be released to find out what happens. The Land of Stories series is no exception. This totally ended with a cliffhanger & now I have to wait!! UGH!
