King's first collection of novellas has a more dramatic than horrific bent. So rest assured: from deeply emotional stories - such as “Last Rung on the Ladder,” which is about a man who blames himself for his sister’s suicide - to gruesome post-apocalyptic tales like “Night Surf,” Night Shift has something for all horror lovers.įun facts: Six of the stories in this collection have been made into feature-length films: "Children of the Corn," "The Lawnmower Man," "Graveyard Shift," "The Mangler," and "Sometimes They Come Back.” If you’ve ever watched an 80s zombie movie and found the low-budget, unrealistic gore scarier than the high-quality effects of today’s horror films, you’ll be a fan of Night Shift: its stories might lack the finesse of some of King’s later works, but they are the stuff of nightmares nonetheless. This was King’s first collection of short stories, and let’s just say he entered this realm of literature not with a whimper, but with a bang.
