demand—a “good thing,” Dills said.
Core Records, an independent label
based in Austin, also handles Will and
the Bushmen, Jet Black Factory and
Vigilantes of Love.
The band has avoided touring them
selves to death, opting to open for big
acts like Morrissey, the Violent
Femmes, New Order, the B-52s and
Sting, bands which offer much larger
audiences.
So far, Dills said, the tour has been
successful, although the band mem
bers are still getting used to the long
hours.
He said the crowds the band has
encountered so far have responded
enthusiastically.
“They’re definitely different than
our home crowd,” he said. “But it
hasn’t been hard. They’re going out to
these clubs to hear something differ
ent.”
The Return will open the show,
which starts around 10 p.m. Admis
sion is $3.

King’s new book receives a split verdict
Stephen King
“Nightmares and
Dreamscapes”
Viking Publishing
There was once a time when
Stephen King’s short stories repre-.
sented his best work. Although his
novels were often scary, they were
also almost always somewhat long
winded. His short stories, however,
were short, powerful, and very
scary.
Ah, those were the days.
King’s latest book “Nightmares
and Dreamscapes,” his third col
• lection of short stories, is very dis
appointing. It seems like King is
scraping the bottom of a once very
full well, but is now left with noth
ing but scraps and chunks of mud.
The book begins with “Dolan’s
Cadillac,” a story about a man
whose wife is killed by a mobster
and how he gets his revenge by
burying the mobster, car and all, in
th£Ncvada desert. There is nothing
exciting or scary about this story at
all. The reader knows what’s going
to happen beforp it happens, so
there are no surprises.
For the first half of the book,
most of the stories follow this pat
tern. With the possible exception
of“Suffer the Little Children,” the
stories in the first half of the book
vary from boring to just plain bad.
King manages to redeem him
self, somewhat, in the last half of
the book. “Home Delivery,” a take
off on the George Romeib’s“Night
of the Living Dead” is a good solid
story. It is followed by “Rainy Sea
son,” a nice little tale of terror
about maneating toads that drop
from the sky one night every seven
years.
“Crouch End” and “The Ten
O’Clock People” are the two best
stories in the book. “Crouch End”
takes the Lovercraft Cthulhu
Mythos to a new level of terror. A
. woman and her husband arrive in
Crouch End, a suburb of London,
and find themselves in another di
mension, surrounded by evil chil
dren and a beast that lives under
ground.
“The Ten O’Clock People” takes
on one of King’s favorite subjects:
smokers. The world is being taken
overby ugly fly-like aliens, and the
only people who can see them are
people who used to smoke a lot, but
now don’t smoke as much. It’s a
good story, and although it isn’t
really scary, it is very entertaining.
“The Fifth Quarter” is an obvi
ous homage to Ray Bradbury. Four
children, whose last name is
Bradbury, manage to get rid of
their evil step-father when their
house turns into a rocket and blasts
into space.
The last story of the book, “Head
Down ” isn’t really a story, but a
non-fiction piece that originally ran
in “The New Yorker.”
Janies Mehsling/DN
It tells the story of Owen Kins,
Stephen King’s son, and his team
mates on the Bangor West baseball
team, as they make their run for the
state championship. This is the best
writing in the book and captures the
essence of what it is like to play in
Little League. I won’t reveal the
ending,but it is well worth reading.
The first half of King’s book
borders on pathetic and the last half
borders on excellence. With a cov
er price of almost $30,1 woold only
recommend this book to die-hard
King fans, many of whom probably
already own it. Ifvou just want to
read the good stufl, save your mon
ey and check it out from the library.
