Well, King either strikes gold or he just fucks around helplessly. Sometimes he gets it so right you can hardly bear it; other times...well, I've read those unsalvageably lame stories you're reading. Just - just no.
I'm re-reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I like this particular edition because it shows both the original text and the changes she made years later, plus photos of her handwritten notes. It's more interesting to follow her train of thought, her self-criticism, and her evolving perspective than it really is to read the story once again. Also, this has PB Shelley's "A Fragment" (which looked as though it had had a promising start) and Polidori's "Vampyre" as extras.
