Fancy some terrific Stephen King horror short stories to read? Here are some recommendations...
Stephen King is a master of the short story, able to dish out horror tales to make your skin crawl, astounding sci-fi, and even literary reflections aimed at more "sophisticated" readers. He's done it all, with no sign of stopping.

Scott Derrickson, the guy who gave us "Sinister," is going to direct an adaptation of "The Breathing Method," Stephen King's novella from the "Different Seasons" collection. The story is quite macabre -- take a look below from an entry about "The Breathing Method" at Wikipedia:
David, the narrator of the frame tale, is a middle-aged Manhattan lawyer. At the invitation of a senior partner, he joins a strange men's club where the members, in addition to reading, chatting and playing pool and chess, like to tell stories, some of which range into the bizarre and macabre. The club and its butler are also featured in King's short story "The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands".
