Stephen King's short story "The Woman in the Room" (a short review)

The short story in the book "Night Shift," called "The Woman in the Room," is perhaps Mr. King's best short story up to now that I've read, he actually has style in it, and a point, I mean, theme and insight, and a nice plot, good dialogue, and so on. No bad language to speak of and reality shaped. Good description, and he explains in a Faulkner-Hemingway, way, the simple realities of life, from a common point of view. One many people will be able to identify with, perhaps that is why it was selected in the 1980s for a movie.
