This is a King classic short story collection set around the magic hour or twilight. A few scenarios: a book salesman with a grievance picks up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well; an exercise routine on a stationary bicycle takes its rider on a captivating, and then terrifying, journey; a blind girl works a miracle with a kiss and the touch of her hand; and, a psychiatric patient's irrational thinking might create an apocalyptic threat in the Maine countryside, or, keep the world from falling into oblivion. These are just a few of the yarns to be found.
