Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

Nightmares & Dreamscapes - Stephen King

This short story has all the elements of Stephen King greatness. Vividly drawn characters,  sly humor, escalating story progression, gore, and visceral horror. It even has a fart joke. 

 

Better fasten your shutters, because in Willow, it rains toads. 

 

Part of the Nightmares and Dreamscapes collection. Audio version, read by the talented Yeardley Smith. 

I read this for the Dark & Stormy Night square for the 2016 Halloween Bingo.
