Stephen King once said that a well written short story takes as much (if not more) ingenuity and skill as writing a full novel because of the page restrictions one is taxed with getting a cohesive tale across using a quicker pace, plot and structural considerations. Hence, throughout his writing career, he has continually honed his craft by creating a series of short tales that have been loved by fans and studied by his peers for device, pace and affect. These six stories were first published in 1997 and are still enjoyed today.
