"I was only interested in the two short stories by Stephen King and Raymond E. Feist. The others I did not read.
The Dark Tower: The Little Sisters of Eluria
I absolutely loved this short story! It was great to re-visit The Dark Tower series! Wandering the desert, in search of Walter, Roland finds himself trapped in a dead town of Eluria. He is ?nursed? back to health by a group of sisters. What he finds there are love, a deep secret of the sisters, and the memories of his past that he keeps close to him. A really great read!
The Riftwar Saga: The Wood Boy
I really loved this short story too! It makes me want to re-read the Raymond E. Feist novel from beginning to end. Dirk is a servant of the lord, in Walinor, He is found by the Midkemia soldiers, drawing a sled, and saturated in blood. He has an amazing tale to tell Borric."
"I'll be honest- I only read the Stephen King and Orson Scott Card stories in this book. I started the Silverberg and the Feist stories, but just couldn't get into them. The King story was slow, and probably would have been more interesting if I had read the Dark Tower books. Still, it was very good. The Card story was fantastic. I have not read any of his books relating to Alvin Maker, but this was paced well and very entertaining and makes me want to get the full-sized novels in this series, which is after all the point. Again, I can't speak for the Silverberg or Feist stories, for all I know they were very good but I just couldn't get into them enough to get a true feel- they didn't grab me right away."
"I bought this years ago in order to read Little Sisters of Eluria, a short story featuring Roland the Gunslinger from the Dark Tower series. It was years later when the story made its way into Everything's Eventual. I've never read the other stories.
The plot of Little Sisters is fairly straightforward. Roland gets injured fighting some mutants and is taken to a convent so his wounds will be treated. Only, there is much more to the convent than meets the eye.
If all you're looking for is the Dark Tower story, I'd go with Everything's Eventual instead. That way, you also get the story of Dinky Earnshaw, one of the Breakers."
