Skeleton Crew Summary


The Review

Stephen King's Skeleton Crew is a collection of short stories released by Putnam in June 1985. Scream/Press published a limited edition of 1,000 copies in October 1985, illustrated by J. K. Potter, and included an additional short story, "The Revelations of 'Becka Paulson," which first appeared in Rolling Stone magazine (July 19 – August 2, 1984), and was later incorporated into King's 1987 novel The Tommyknockers. The book's initial title was Night Moves, but it was eventually changed to Skeleton Crew.

The Mist is undoubtedly the standout element of Skeleton Crew, and although being shorter than most of his novels, he's able to deliver on a wonderful combination of tension, action, and character development better than most of his 700+ page novels. This story alone is practically worth the price of this book, while taking up barely a fifth of the collection.

Cain Rose Up, as many other readers have noted, stands out uncomfortably as a basic and too brutal tale of a school massacre. It feels like the conclusion to a much more intricate and engaging narrative, such as Rage.

The Jaunt is probably my favorite of the bunch because of how it delivers on an intriguing notion and the ensuing reward at the end, but it's also wonderful to read one from Stephen King that digs into some exciting sci-fi features. This entire narrative is available for free online, so if nothing else, read it.

The notion of Word Processor of the Gods is fantastic enough: a handmade computer that can generate whatever that is written into it. However, I believe that this should have been lot bigger and better than it is, but it is still an excellent read.

Nona seemed the most like a Stephen King narrative, with an overabundance of characters that all felt like they belonged in a broader story, which is why most of them subsequently appear in other stories set in the same town. It's still a fantastic book, especially if you've just read Body or Hearts in Atlantis.

The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet takes a while to get going, but once it does, it's a wonderful unsettling yet subtly humorous narrative. It's one of the collection's longer and last pieces, and it, along with The Reach, ends on a high note.

The Monkey is the book's second longest story, and it also happens to be my second favorite. A guy is terrified of a cymbal-clapping windup monkey who he believes has been responsible for several fatalities since he was a child. This is his effort to rid himself of the item in order to rescue himself and his family. It's a basic narrative, but it's spooky, and it's an excellent illustration of what a short story should be.

The collection includes eighteen short stories, two novellas "The Mist" and "The Ballad of The Flexible Bullet," as well as two poems "Paranoid: A Chant" and "For Owen." 

In addition to the opening, in which King addresses his readers directly in his trademark style of speech, Skeleton Crew includes a type of epilogue called "Notes," in which King examines the genesis of numerous pieces in the book. 

The stories are drawn from science-fiction and horror anthologies such as Dark Forces, Shadows, Terrors, and New Terrors, as well as genre magazine publications such as Twilight Zone, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Startling Mystery Stories, Weirdbook, and Fantasy and Science Fiction, as well as popular magazines such as Redbook, Gallery, Yankee, and Playboy.

Overall, I would suggest this collection to any Stephen King fan, since it contains many of his most popular and memorable works (especially those that are not whole novels), and it may even be the ideal place for a beginner to Stephen King to begin.

The following is a list of the stories from this book.

01 - The Mist

02 - Here There Be Tygers

03 - The Monkey

04 - Cain Rose Up

05 - Mrs. Todd's Shortcut

06 - The Jaunt

07 - The Wedding Gig

08 - Paranoid: A Chant

09 - The Raft

10 - Word Processor of the Gods

11 - The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands

12 - Beachworld

13 - The Reaper's Image

14 - Nona

15 - For Owen

16 - Survivor Type

17 - Uncle Otto's Truck

18 - Morning Deliveries (Milkman #1)

19 - Big Wheels: A Tale of the Laundry Game (Milkman #2)

20 - Gramma

21 - The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet

22 - The Reach

My recommendation is to wait until you've finished all of the other tales before reading The Mist, since it's one of the greatest stories in the book in my view.


Final Thoughts

Stephen King is an author who should be read at least once by every reader. His ability to tell stories and draw you in from the first phrase is incredible. 

The stories are among King's best, as mentioned in the title. 

"The Mist" is the collection's first short story, and it's also the longest. 

I've always been wondering about where King gets his ideas, and I was glad to learn that at the conclusion of this book, there are some details about what inspired King to create a couple of the stories. 

While "The Mist" is his most well-known work in this collection, I also enjoyed "The Jaunt," "Word Processor of the Gods," (a bizarre but enjoyable piece of writing, "The Raft," and "The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet." 

Fantastic bits of writing that demonstrate King's talent in a variety of forms. It's also worth noting that not all of these short tales are about terror or weirdness; he's also fantastic at writing about everyday life and seemingly ordinary events that we as humans face. Any Stephen King lover should have this book.

There are around 20 tales here, all of varied quail. Most of them are between 20 and 30 pages long, so even if you don't like any of them, you haven't wasted too much time. 

I thought almost all of them to be quite amusing, with a few of them being considerably above average. The book is certainly worth purchasing, and I would suggest it to any Stephen King fans who are ready to read him in tiny doses.


Synopsis

The following synopsis is taken from the Audiobook version of the book.

“Narrated by Stephen King, Matthew Broderick, Michael C. Hall, Paul Giamatti, Will Patton, Norbert Leo Butz, Lois Smith, Dylan Baker, Kyle Beltran, Dana Ivey, Robert Petkoff, David Morse, and Frances Sternhagen.

The master at his scarifying best! From heart-pounding terror to the eeriest of whimsy - tales from the outer limits of one of the greatest imaginations of our time!

In "The Mist", a supermarket becomes the last bastion of humanity as a peril beyond dimension invades the earth.

Touch "The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands", and say your prayers.

There are some things in attics that are better left alone - things like "The Monkey".

The most sublime woman driver on earth offers a man "Mrs. Todd's Shortcut" to paradise.

A boy's sanity is pushed to the edge when he's left alone with the odious corpse of "Gramma".

If you were stunned by Gremlins, the Fornits of "The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet" will knock your socks off.

Trucks that punish and beautiful teen demons who seduce a young man to massacre; curses whose malevolence grows through the years; obscene presences and angels of grace - here, indeed, is a night-blooming bouquet of chills and thrills.”

Gwendy's Final Task Review

Gwendy's Final Task

Published: 15, February 2022
Genre: Fiction, Horror, Literature, Magic, Shape Shifter, Supernatural, Suspense, Thriller
Book 3 of 3: Gwendy's Button Box Trilogy

Check the summary of this book here:


The Review

Stephen King and Richard Chizmar collaborated on the supernatural adventure novel Gwendy's Final Task. This is the third installment of the trilogy Gwendy's Button Box. Gwendy's Button Box and Gwendy's Magic Feather are previous entries. It is mostly set in the year 2026 aboard the MF-1 Space Station and focuses on the titular Gwendy Peterson, a sixty-four-year-old United States Senator from Maine. It's been twenty years since Richard Farris freed her from the button box, but it's returned, and she'll have to overcome formidable challenges before she can finally destroy it.

While not among King's blockbusters like "The Stand" or "11/22/63," the Gwendy books come to a satisfying climax in this third and longest book in the series. 

Nice "Dark Tower" and "It" references that tie it into the grander King universe. The first book was essentially a novella, and the second was a mid-sized book, but this is massive in comparison to the prior two volumes.

King's politics are no secret, and they add realism to a fantastic story, so please understand it is not about any real-life mentally unstable politician, it is about fictional politics, so have fun reading it and remember that many of the negative reviews and hate you read or hear about this novel and series are from innocent people who don't understand the point of this story. 

As usual, I must emphasize the need of educating people to love, care for, and respect one another, and to not trust anybody who uses fear to make you hate, fear, and think negatively of others for selfish benefits.

The book kept my attention by alternating Gwendy's journey to her final mission in space. The premise is a little strange, but Chizmar makes it believable with her last encounter with the mysterious Mr. Farris and how she ends up on that Eagle Heavy rocket with that sinister dispenser of unique and magical chocolates and apocalypse.

If you're a fan of Stephen King's Dark Tower series, there's a lot to appreciate here. In fact, a significant portion of the book assumes that you are familiar with the ideas and story mechanisms of those works. Even the low men in yellow coats make an appearance.

Assuming that everyone has read the preceding volumes, many readers will wonder why Gwendy is so unique. 

Farris describes the failures of past button box guardians, but there is no explanation for why Gwendy is able to withstand the artifact's terrible force. 

She is a great person, bold and astute, nurtured in love and knowledge, but Farris makes it obvious that many of the other candidates were just as morally deserving but failed the exam. 

My response is that she is simply being tried like everyone else, but she succeeds because of her determination and strength of character.

Though there are glimpses of emotion that would have made him appealing, the book's villain is a caricature; in the end, he is only threatening because Gwendy is suffering from an illness that leaves her susceptible.

Given that this novel is mostly about Gwendy and the company, I found it annoying that no one else, aside from the mission commander Kathy and the "Bug Man" Adesh, is ever truly brought into focus, and they are eventually rendered redundant.

The book isn't bad, and it benefits from comparison to the second, but it's evident that Chizmar, while a competent writer, lacks King's ability for complex characters and complicated plotting, as I mentioned in my assessment of the prior book. 

It's a great novel, but it's not on Stephen King's level, even if he's one of the authors, and perhaps that's why it's not a total failure; and is well worth your money, particularly if you miss the Dark Tower series.

Despite all I've said thus far, I absolutely adored this book as a reader! Once I started reading it, it was impossible for me to put it down. I laughed out loud at times and was disappointed when the narrative ended. I really enjoyed the numerous connections to King's previous works!

In places, it's a little over the top and predictable, but it's still a wonderful conclusion to the trilogy. The total of its components is more than the sum of its parts. Gwendy is a fascinating woman, and the button box and its potential piqued my interest.

Plus, there were so many Easter eggs in this one that they didn't fail to make me grin, even though a couple seemed tossed in as an afterthought.


Final Thoughts

The Gwendy novels may not persuade a beginner to King of his incredible and legendary narrative skill, but they are entertaining short readings and wonderful diversions. I liked all three of them, but this one was my favorite.

The final book was a nice and somewhat surprising conclusion to a three-novel story that spans a woman's entire life and deals with issues far beyond what most people face: visitors from alternate universes, the horrific deaths of loved ones, difficult choices that may or may not save the entire planet, or possibly planets. 

Because there are other universes, you know, like Roland's and the Dark Tower, and a certain wicked clown wandering the sewers of Derry, Maine in It.

King and Chizmar did an excellent job with Gwendy, creating a relatable heroine who is coping with otherworldly issues. 

The stories are fast readings with narratives that are delightfully surprising in their breadth. So much so that Gwendy swings from being a small kid in over her head to a politician with national clout to a space traveler faced with an impossible ultimate job.

I wholeheartedly suggest the series to anybody who likes mild horror with a dash of the fantasy drama. 

But don't get me wrong, while I wouldn't call these books chilling, you won't have to leave the lights on when you go to bed because there are some solid horror moments that remind you, much like a slap in the face, that these are Stephen King books, at least partially, and woe to those who become complacent, because fresh hot horror seems to pour out of the pages when you least expect it

The truth is that these books are a lot of fun, pleasant, and amusing, with just enough suspense and violence to keep the pages turning quickly. 

I highly recommend picking these up and spending a few days with Gwendy, who has some surprises in store for you.


Synopsis

“The final book in the New York Times bestselling Gwendy’s Button Box trilogy from Stephen King and Richard Chizmar.

When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a mysterious stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven colored buttons promised death and destruction. Years later, the button box entered Gwendy’s life again. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once again forced to deal with the temptation that box represented. Now, evil forces seek to possess the button box and it is up to Senator Gwendy Peterson to keep it from them at all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities?

In Gwendy’s Final Task, “horror giants” (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.”

Gwendy's Magic Feather Review

Richard Chizmar, Stephen King, American, Classic, Coming Of Age, Fiction, Horror, Magic, Supernatural, Thriller

Gwendy's Magic Feather

Published: 19, November 2019
Author: Richard Chizmar (Foreword by Stephen King)
Genre: American, Classic, Coming Of Age, Fiction, Horror, Magic, Supernatural, Thriller
Book 2 of 3: Gwendy's Button Box Trilogy

Check the summary of this book here:


The Review

Gwendy's Magic Feather is a medium-sized novel by Richard Chizmar, and it is the sequel to the preceding novel Gwendy's Button Box. With a foreword by Stephen King, this is the first novel set at Castle Rock written by another author! Ben Baldwin created the hardcover's full-color cover artwork, while Keith Minnion created the inside artwork.

Once again, a book that is not as huge as a bookworm like me and many others like me will feel is too small, but for a casual reader, it is sort of typical. However, even with such a small size, it is still a wonderful read, which makes it feel even smaller.

This was a fantastic addition to Gwendy's narrative. When you finish an excellent novel, you're left wondering, "What happened next?" 

Without giving anything away, I hope you'll like Gwendy's continuing story and her experiences, problems, and successes. 

Chismar elevated the plot to new heights. For the first book, Stephen King chose a fantastic writer to partner with, and Richard grabbed the wheel for this one. An excellent book and a fantastic pick. It gently draws you in, and once you're hooked, you can't get enough of it.

One thing that all readers must realize is that this novel was not written by Stephen King, and they should not expect it to be. It's good but not as good as Stephen King's.

Many people complained about the politics in this (not written by Stephen King) and other books written by Stephen King, and I am continually stressing that he is only creating fiction, and we should read the works as such. 

Politics may appear to be about a real-life president, but in my opinion, it is not true, and it is just like any fiction when a mentally ill politician can win an election and be a major problem for the world, and we must grow up as humans and rise above these wars and racism, which are essentially a simple tactic to rule over mindless masses. If you haven't seen the film Idiocracy, you should watch it to see what I'm talking about.

I don't like to compare authors, and while Richard Chizmar is an excellent and talented writer, no one can compete with Stephen King, Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, and the likes of these and many other legends from the past and present, but we must-read books by these new authors so they can write more and become as great as the legendary figures.

Great narrative and it's nice to see Gwendy all grown up. She's a fantastic character, and she's been given all of her charm in this narrative. It was also wonderful to return to Castle Rock through Gwendy's eyes. 

Richard did an excellent job with the narrative, and I'm sure fans won't be able to wait to see what the next narrative has in store for these characters.

This relates to the narrative of Gwendy's life, her current situation, and the paths her life has led her. I won't tell much more, but it demonstrates an interesting route and enough to keep readers interested in the plot. 

I liked that the title of the book doesn't actually reveal anything to the reader; frequently, if you just look at the cover, you can assess the book, despite the adage that you shouldn't. 

We get to see her benefactor again, and it reminds me of the Breakers from the Tower series, Hearts of Atlantis, and a little bit of Carrie, Firestarter, and the new Institute. However, this does not imply that this book is identical to the novels I just listed.

Gwendy's Button Box is my current favorite of the two books. The storyline in Gwendy's Magic Feather didn't feel as tight to me. 

There are various parts that are superfluous. I enjoy the detailed narrative, but it tends to dominate the real tale in some areas, especially near the beginning and finish. It needed to move in these spots, but it didn't. 

I also believe that the moments between Farris and the enigmatic killer were not as strong as I would have wanted. More depth and emphasis would have made this a clear favorite.

A wonderful story that not only transports us to Castle RockStephen King's favorite place but also introduces us to a new and talented tour guide, Richard Chizmar

We finally get to see an elderly Gwendy and her notorious Button Box. A readily accessible story with a family emphasis and drama, as well as visits to old familiar acquaintances in a place we've been to many times before. 

Chizmar grabs your hand and guides you to a comfortable worn chair in a warm chamber, where he weaves his yarn full of details and sensations we can all connect to.

The family tragedies and hardships are so vividly shown that you find yourself agreeing with family issues in your own life on a frequent basis. 

Gwendy's Magic Feather, which is easily readable in a single sitting, is a fantastic addition for this newest intriguing character in the Castle Rock universe and just leaves you anxiously anticipating the next installment.


Final Thoughts

This is the second installment in the Gwendy's Button Box Trilogy. The first was co-written by Richard Chizmar and Stephen King and was based on one of King's unfinished works. 

I can't even imagine being permitted to read, let alone complete, a throwaway narrative. But, as far as I know, Chizmar is the first individual outside of King's own self to create a narrative set on Castle Rock entirely on his own. This is a fantastic story, but a quick read.

Overall, I would suggest this book and series. Presently every time someone asks me for a Stephen King novel recommendation that will pique their attention, I offer Gwendy's Button Box

Now I'd like to share a second story with you. This narrative isn't too terrifying, resentful of politics, or unduly lengthy or short; it's just perfect, like Goldilocks

If you want to read a wonderful novel that isn't too long, isn't entirely based on the supernatural, and has a strong female protagonist, this is the book for you. There is also a third book, which you can learn more about and read a review of by clicking Gwendys Final Task.


Synopsis

“A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

In this thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling novella by Stephen King and award-winning author Richard Chizmar, an adult Gwendy is summoned back to Castle Rock after the mysterious reappearance of the button box.

Something evil has swept into the small Maine town of Castle Rock on the heels of the latest winter storm. Sheriff Norris Ridgewick and his team are desperately searching for two missing girls, but time is running out.

In Washington, DC, thirty-seven-year-old Gwendy Peterson couldn’t be more different from the self-conscious teenaged girl who once spent a summer running up Castle Rock’s Suicide Stairs. That same summer, she had been entrusted—or some might say cursed—with the extraordinary button box by Richard Farris, the mysterious stranger in the black suit. The seductive and powerful box offered Gwendy small gifts in exchange for its care and feeding until Farris eventually returned, promising the young girl she’d never see the box again.

One day, though, the button box suddenly reappears but this time, without Richard Farris to explain why, or what she’s supposed to do with it. Between this and the troubling disappearances back in Castle Rock, Gwendy decides to return home. She just might be able to help rescue the missing girls and stop a dangerous madman before he does something ghastly.

With breathtaking and lyrical prose, Gwendy’s Magic Feather explores whether our lives are controlled by fate or the choices we make and what price we sometimes have to pay. Prepare to return again to Stephen King’s Castle Rock, the sleepy little town built on a bedrock of deep, dark secrets, just as it’s about to awaken from its quiet slumber once more.”
