      Hm, that’s unpleasant. 😕 I’m unable to listen right now and I didn’t want to link to somewhere that had a plot synopsis or other spoiler equivalent, so I thought an audio of the actual story would be fine. I fixed it just now to link to something more cryptic but probably also less off putting.

        You know, I’ll actually read this. I’ve been looking for my next book to read and I thought I had read all of Stephen King’s early stuff. Thanks!

          It’s so good

          For my money Stephen King’s old short fiction - Skeleton Crew, Night Shift, Different Seasons, stuff like that - is some of the best stuff he has done. And “Mrs. Todd’s Shortcut” is one of the best of that good lot to me.

            I may have read it but don’t remember. My favourite of his short stories is “The Long Walk” as Richard Bachman.
