Detta är en av Stephen Kings bästa novellsamlingar, enligt min mening. Här kommer ett smakprov ur novellen "Suffer the little children". Vi möter den stränga lärarinnan miss Sidley, som har "ögon i nacken".
"One of her little tricks was the careful use of her glasses. The whole class was reflected in their thick lenses and she had always been thinly amused by their guilty, frightened faces when she caught them at their nasty little games. (...) She watched carefully with one eye. Soon Robert would stick out his tongue or make that disgusting finger-gesture they all knew (even the girls seemed to know it these days), just to see if she really knew what he was doing. Then he would be punished. The reflection was small, ghostly, and distorted. And she had all but the barest comer of her eye on the word she was writing. Robert changed. She caught just a flicker of it, just a frightening glimpse of Robert's face changing into something ... different."
