“The Cat from Hell”
by Stephen King (review)
From the book: “Just after Sunset” the story, “The Cat from Hell,” it’s got to be the dumbest story I’ve ever read from an adult writer. Senseless, and without any…just senseless; in the beginning he seems to have some mysticism growing, then he veers off to wonderland, in a perverted way.
From the book “Night Shift,” some twenty-five years prior to the previous sort story book, comes the short story “The Ledge,” which is a little more sensible. Actually well written, and with a reversed ending, not as good as the ending in “Rest Stop,” but it will do. He actually has good description in this story, a little insight (what goes around comes around, or how do you like operation reverse). It is in the first person narration—not in that reporting third person wooden soldier, recitation style I find he uses in a number of his short stories in “Just after Sunset”.
