You Like It Darker by Stephen King. A Review and ranking of all the stories in this collection.
Is this book a true return to vintage King? I say no! Is it an excellent collection that explores the horror of life and death, growing old, chance, bad stuff happening to ordinary people? Hell yes!
There are some really dark tales in this collection and they are, in my opinion, some of the best stuff that Stephen King has ever written.
Please note that my ranking is my opinion. We are all different, so be respectful in the comment section.

Ranking the most hateful, despicable, nasty characters in all of Stephen King's body of work. I am not including big names such as Pennywise, Flagg and (surprisingly) Annie Wilkes. Instead, we have mostly human pieces of trash that really made my blood boil.
There will be spoilers as I discuss the characters and their heinous crimes, but I do not spoil the story.
