Four stories, all very different, dealing with the duality of good and evil in all of us. In each story some sort of revenge is carried out. Each story is very different in tone and writing style, as if Mr, King is experimenting with different voices, though the voices are consistent within each story.

I have read few Steven King books before, but this one is very well written with attention to character and well chosen detail. My favorite was the first story, more a novella, "1922" which though the most twisted of these tales also took me to the world of 1922, characters who are in desperate situations, and a complex protagonist.

We chose one short story from the book, "A Good Marriage" to read and discuss. People found the story compelling and we had an interesting discussion about the ethical dilemma presented in the story.
