Night Shift is a short story collection of Stephen King.
Stephen King is known mostly for his novels but he has published several short stories collections and Night Shift is the first and, I believe, the best.
The stories in Night Shift are among the finest horror stories I have read.
Some of the more familiar ones are: Children of the Corn which tells of a couple which stumbles into a town which is populated by a homicidal cult of children who had murdered all the adults in their town. Children of the Corn was made into a film which had several sequels.
The Ledge tells the story of a man who is forced by a gangster to walk a ledge around a building. Very terrifying. The Ledge was included in Cat's Eye which featured 3 Stephen King stories.
Quitters Inc. tells of a smoking rehab program which has gruesome incentives.
And the Lawnmower Man which was also made into a film though one which varied greatly from the story.
Overall a very fulfilling read. A must for horror fans.
