It was good mostly. I've previously read about three of the stories in this volume but that's what you get with an anthology and that includes "The Horror of the Heights" which might be Conan Doyle's tightest story and never mind the Sherlocks. I agree with the reviewer who said the ethics of the torture story were strange to say the least.
One story - although I could tell what was going to happen at the end - ended, to my delight, with a scenario that I invented age about 12 as a joke about an unpopular boy at school, and I am fairly sure I've never seen it used in the intervening too many years. Although I am very fond of the time-travel loop, particularly as a form of punishment...
Btw, Stephen King is the editor, not the author. Though he's a fine editor as well so no worries.
