First off, this collection of odds and ends is very poorly edited. Secondly, I'll try not to give too much away about each story since no one likes spoilers.
So, on with the show...
An Evening at God's - described as a "one minit play", this is about God destroying the Earth for fun as he sits around drinking beer.

Keyholes (The Leprachaun) - This was intended to be a full size book, written for King's son Owen, but most of it was lost off the back of King's motorcycle. What is left is an excerpt about a boy defending a leprechaun against his sister's cat.
Silence - a poem
Skybar - basically King wrote the beginning and end. A promo contest was held to see if anyone could write a middle to it.and the winner was an 18 year old nerd who had their section published along with the story blah blah I didn't read it because I didn't care too much about the non-King writing.

The Little Sisters of Eluria - This is a 50 page story related to the Dark Tower Series, which I haven't read; so I skipped it until that time in the distant future I get to reading that Magnum opus.

Will We Close the Book on Books? - Written in 2000, this is a short piece King wrote, wondering rhetorically if digital books will replace physical books. 12 years later, it's still an apt observation. And a fitting close to this collection. ( )
