The King Journey Arrives At A New Decade

I am currently reading Stephen King's collection of novellas - Four Past Midnight - in my quest to read all of the author's work from his first published novel - Carrie - right through to today.

Four Past Midnight is significant in my journey because it was the first title to be released in the 1990s.

The first novella - of the four included in this book - is The Langoliers. I finished reading shortly before writing this post.

It's a horror/thriller story about passengers on a plane who wake up to find most of their co-passengers, and even the flight crew, have vanished. 

As I've written in previous posts about King, my favourite novel of his - so far(?) - is The Stand. I kind of had The Stand vibes reading this one because it focuses on a group of mismatched characters forced to team up to survive in a changed world. 

I give it a strong three to four stars. My final verdict will depend on how I find the rest of the book.

I haven't read what the remaining three stories are in the collection, if they're as good as The Langoliers then it could be another four star title.
