I’m a big King fan and enjoy both his giant novels and his short story collections. For the intro to one of them he compares a story to dating. A novel is a serious relationship. Maybe it’s a good one, maybe it’s a bad one but it’s deep and there’s commitment involved. A short story is a kiss in the dark. Maybe it’s amazing and meaningful, but it’s also fleeting.
