This is a collection of Stephen King "mid length" stories, published just after Cujo.

The stories include:

• Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption
• Apt Pupil
• The Body
• The Breathing Method

The Shawshank redemption was made into a great film, where Tim Robbins did a great job of portraying Andy.

The Body was also made into the excellent "Stand by me" movie, with a young River Phoenix the shining light there.

This was a great book, not quite typical Stephen King, although all the stories have some "horror" feel to them.

Apt Pupil did take a while to get "Gooshy". (read the story, you'll get the reference ;-), but overall, they were all quite readable.
