Stephen King Goes To The Movies

This book is five Stephen King stories that all had movies made out of them. The titles are: 1408, The Mangler, Hearts In Atlantis (Low Men In Yellow Coats), The Shawshank Redemption (Rita Hayworth & Shawshank Redemption) and Children Of The Corn. I've seen Shawshank Redemption & Children of the Corn, but not the other three. Of all the stories, I liked Hearts In Atlantis best. The Mangler was also pretty good. Hearts in Atlantis is about an 11 year old boy named Bobby who meets an old man (Ted) living in the same apartment building that he lives in with his mother. Ted "hires" Bobby to be on the lookout for signs of the "Low Men In Yellow Coats" looking for him (Ted). Bobby doesn't quite believe that there is anyone looking for Ted, but after awhile he begins seeing the signs that Ted warned about, such as a child's chalk-drawn hopscotch with a moon & star drawn beside it in a different color, a kite hanging from a telephone wire, or mysterious missing pet ads tacked to telephone poles or upside-down on grocery store bulletin boards. Bobby begins to see these signs but doesn't tell Ted right away, then regrets it later, when his mother turns Ted in for the reward money. It was the longest short story (over 300 pages) in the book, but also the most interesting. The book has introductions by Stephen King before each story that describe the movies they were made into.
