Gray Matter and Other Stories from Night Shift

Night Shift is a collection of short horror stories by Stephen King, drawn from the early years of his career. The title story, Gray Matter, follows a man who drinks a beer he should have left alone and soon feels something changing inside him, a transformation that reaches far beyond the bottle. The collection also holds tales of ghostly visitations, a monstrous machine, a cursed town and ordinary people pushed to the edge by fear and the unknown.
