I know Night Shift is gonna win, but Skeleton Crew rules. It’s top five are some of King’s best ever work.

Conner McGovern

Skeleton Crew May have the better stories, but Night Shift is the more solid collection overall I think. Side note Everything’s Eventual has a couple really good stories as well.

Alexander Sanford

i love how raw and dark his early stuff is and there's no better example than Night Shift.

Nick Weird

Nightmares & Dreamscapes ended up being such a slog for me to get through. Night Shift probably has the highest highs with Jerusalem's Lot, Gray Matter, The Boogeyman, The Last Rung on the Ladder just to mention a few. Skeleton Crew has the incomparable The Mist and the wonderful Mrs. Todd's Shortcut and, of course, The Jaunt. It's hard to pick a favorite but I might have to go with Skeleton Crew just because I love Mrs. Todd's Shortcut so much.

Gotta go with Night Shift and Mr. Bougheman (Boshe-man)

I did percentages of each of them and was surprised I liked nightmares and dreamscapes more than skeleton crew. Night shift at 55% N&D at 45% Skell Crew at 33%

Gotta agreed with the Skeleton Crew peeps. The Mist and the Jaunt and the Raft?? Can't compare with those. Maybe I just remember them better. Or I read it at a more formative time. 🤷‍♀️

Skeleton Crew has a few amazing ones that do some heavy lifting

Connor Henderson

Night Shift is great so it’s hard to pick between it and Skeleton Crew but SC wins because it simply has my favourite stories such as The Mist, The Jaunt and The Raft.

Kyle Moore

My favorite story is dedication 😳

John Patterson

Night Shift by far, altho Skeleton Crew's finest is up there with anything King has written. Nightmares and Dreamscapes has a couple of gems, but it's not nearly in the same league.

Emily winter

This was tough actually, except for putting n&d in distant 3rd 😂.

Brett Littman

Of the three, when I think about the best collection, my mind goes to Skeleton Crew instantly. It’s probably not based on any statistics. But I am Everything’s Eventual stan from way back. I think it’s damn near perfect.

The Mist and the Jaunt are my two favorite short stories by King. So that right there makes SC my favorite
