Book review: The Bazaar Of Bad Dreams

Inevitably, certain themes from his past work recur — temptation and addiction, Maine, boyhood adventures, even killer cars.
But this is only really a problem when they recur within the collection; one story about a human yet unageing harbinger of death, or demises mysteriously foretold in writing, would probably be ample for any given book.
King has always been a prolific writer more than a consistent one. In that respect, a couple of these stories could surely have done with another go-over.
Still, highlights including a heartbreaking vignette of two men and a dog at the end of the world, and the eerie account of a very unusual Kindle, remind us why King has been so successful for so long.
