10 Most Underrated Stephen King Books Of All Time
5. Everything's Eventual
Everything's Eventual is arguably King's best short story collection. Published in 2002, it features a total of eleven short stories and three novellas, one of which serves as a major tie-in to the Dark Tower universe.
Every tale collected work together to capture every aspect of King's power of storytelling. Balancing his grasp for horror, the book also features more subtle and moving character driven pieces such as Riding the Bullet and The Death of Jack Hamilton, an out-of-character crime story.
The best in the collection is a toss up between opener Autopsy Room Four, in which a man wakes up during an autopsy without anyone noticing, and 1408, which sees a skeptical author stay at a supposedly haunted hotel room and comes face to face with true horror and the room's twisted history.
Often focused on obsession and how the little things in life always have meaning, Everything's Eventual is a darkly funny, genuinely scary and brilliantly realised mesh of stories begging for a re-read.
