69. Night Shift, by Stephen King.

Night Shift is a book of short stories written by Stephen King. It probably has the scariest of his stories in, at least in my opinion. The Mangler, Jerusalem's Lot, and Graveyard Shift are particularly worrisome, and The Last Rung On The Ladder is sad but sweet.

Most of the stories in this collection gave me that uniquely horrified yet fascinated feel that the good King books manage so well. They're stories about some terrible things, but at the same time, it's very difficult to prise yourself away. Not really a night-time read, unless you want to have some interesting dreams.
