Four past midnight by stephen king5/9/2023 Solutions come from dreams, from dying girls, from gut feelings.Įach one of these stories are fantastic short stories of twenty-fifty pages or so, not the 200-page behemoths each one ended up being. I will say that each of the four stories had fantastic concepts, but, unfortunately, each one was buried under unsympathetic or stock King characters, interminable sidetracks, plot devices seemingly designed only to extend an already bloated story, and endings where the protagonist seems to pull the solution out of his ass. I also found most of the characters, with the exception of Dirty Dave from Policemen and Kevin's father from Sun Dog. Maybe it was the mood I was in, I don't know, but I found all the dream sequences-a plot device that I absolutely despise-particularly frustrating, as every one of the four stories had at least one, and usually multiple sequences. About the Book A domestic flight makes an unusual stopover in the land of The Langoliers a writer confronts the reality of his success in Secret Window. This time around, quite frankly, I didn't like any of them. I had no memory of Library Policeman, and dimly remember thinking The Sun Dog was only okay. I remember really liking The Langoliers, and not minding Secret Garden, Secret Window.
