I'm not exactly sure which one it is. But you might want to check out some of his lesser-known short stories. Maybe you'll find it there. It's a bit of a needle in a haystack though.
I think it might be 'Survivor Type'. In this story, the characters undergo a strange transformation that could be described as becoming just flesh.
The main character is Mike Noonan, a writer. There's also Mattie Devore, a young woman, and her daughter Kyra.
For me, 'Children of the Corn' is the best. It has such a unique concept. The idea of a town where the children have taken over and are running this dark cult is really spooky. The way King describes the cornfields and how they seem to have a life of their own adds to the overall atmosphere. And the children themselves are both innocent - looking and yet so menacing at the same time. It's a story that really sticks in your mind long after you've read it.
I don't recall a particular Stephen King short story with that exact plot. But you could try looking through his collections like 'Night Shift' or 'Skeleton Crew' to find it.
I'm not sure. It depends on how you interpret the story. Maybe it's left to the reader's imagination.
For me, 'Gramma' is up there as one of the scariest. It's about a young boy left alone with his dying and possibly possessed grandmother. The atmosphere of the old, creaky house and the strange things that start to happen create a sense of dread. And the ending is really spooky, leaving you with a feeling of unease long after you've finished reading.
I would say 'I Am the Doorway'. It's a unique and thought - provoking short story. The idea of an astronaut becoming a portal for something otherworldly is both strange and terrifying. King's writing makes it very engaging.
Well, 'I Know What You Need' can be considered very scary. The idea that someone can know your every need and manipulate situations to their advantage in a rather creepy way is the essence of the horror in this story. It's a psychological horror that gets into your head.
I have no idea. It could be a lesser-known story or one that requires deeper research into King's extensive collection of works.
For me, 'The Mist' has a disturbing ending. The decision that the main character makes at the end, in the face of such hopelessness, is both tragic and disturbing. It's a very dark and unexpected way to end the story.
