Everything's Eventual

Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales - Stephen King To be honest I wasn't really impressed by this collection. There was nothing that I could really get into, and that included the Dark Tower story, which I thought would be really, really good.

I found the maître d' story horrifyingly simple and straightforward, and at the same time comic. There was just enough mystery to keep you guessing about the motives of the characters that you just want to read it again to be sure you didn't miss anything.
