Reddit mentions of Different Seasons

I would recommend Different Seasons, which is a collection of four novellas. I know they're not short stories, but it's still a great collection! I think King works best in longer work. I haven't read a short story of his that has ever blown me away, but Different Seasons is a good introdouction read. In this book is the source material for Shawshank Redemtion and Stand By Me, too, so the stories will be familiar.
