The plan is to reread all of Stephen King’s works in the order that they were published. Richard Chizmar of Cemetery Dance had the vision. I’m doing it because I am a writer and I want to improve my fiction. And I love Stephen King’s stories. I think there is something to be learned through this process.

You can also go back to the beginning and read Before Carrie or any of my other posts up through this one and beyond by checking out this link to the Master List of all my #StephenKingRevisited posts.

I’m one of those guys who is always excited about a new Stephen King short story collection. The copy of Everything’s Eventual I’m reading is the same one I bought when it first came out in paperback.

I had a bad habit of jumping around in short story collections when I was reading. I would go with the titles that caught my attention first. As a result, I would miss stories because I’d forget which ones I hadn’t read.

I’m sure I read most of the stories in this collection, but I don’t remember all of them. A friend mentioned “The Death of Jack Hamilton” to me the other day from this collection and I don’t remember it. I might have skipped that one before moving on from this collection.

Either way, I’m looking forward to reading and revisiting these stories straight through this time.

My next post in this series will be After Everything’s Eventual which will be linked on the Master List of all my Stephen King Revisited posts.
