I can't find anything readily online that describes what each of these stories are about. If you're like me and you like to read a brief synopsis before reading, I'm here for you.

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.

Before the Play - Abandoned prologue to The Shining... http://www.chud.com/community/t/27784/stephen-kings-excised-prologue-to-the-shin...

Blue Air Compressor - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Air_Compressor

Cat from Hell - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_from_Hell

The Dark Man - poem
Donovan's Brain - poem
For the Birds - pun/joke
The Hardcase Speaks - a poetic, surreal story
Harrison St. Park '68 - poem

In a Half-World of Terror - A gravedigger gets a job with a mad scientist; the protagonist meets a lady with a connection to his new-found place of employment.

In the Keycord of Dawn - poetic story

Jhonathan and the Witches - A "once upon a time" about a boy, aided by a fairy bunny, ordered to kill three witches.

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.

Spade - A gunslinger sets out to kill a man named Sam Columbine.

Squad D. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squad_D

That Feeling, You Can Only Say It In French - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Feeling,_You_Can_Only_Say_What_It_Is_in_French

Glass Floor - A dude named Wharton's sister dies; he goes to visit his brother in law, only to get a suspicious vibe and demand to see the room where she died.

The King Family and the Wicked Witch - Kids story about titular characters. The King family is cursed by cookies!

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.

The Night of the Tiger - A story told by a young man traveling with the circus about two nemesis, Legend Indrasil, whose beef is settled with a tiger.

The Reploids - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Reploids

The Road Virus Heads North - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Virus_Heads_North

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. ( )
