I loved The Stand and Carrie, I've read others but don't remember them! Nothing too long or heavy

Nightmares and Dreamscapes is another collection of short stories. I really enjoyed the short stories Dolan's Cadillac and the Langoliers.

Edit: The Langoliers might have been from a different collection.

Yeah. "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" was out of the cocaine days and into the normal period, so I don't have the same level of love for it as I do for the earlier stuff, but it still had some absolute gems. It was still in the golden age.

They also made a made-for-TV miniseries of "The Langoliers" which was far better and more accurate than it had any right to be. Whoever did the CGI for it clearly had basically nothing to work with and still did their best lol.
