Even the cover is great! Its this pencil drawing of a table at a resturant. The water glass has a red drop of liquid falling down to the bottom of it, which just must be blood. The back cover of the book has the rest of the resturant, and has blood spattered all over it. This artwork is on the hard cover version of the book. Im not sure what’s on the paperback. This drawing is directly related to one of the stories in the book, “Lunch at the Gotham Cafe”, a really gorey story about a guy going crazy at a resturant.
Not all the stories in the book were wonderful, but most were good. My favorite is “Little Sisters of Eluria”. It is almost like part of the Dark Tower series, which I love, but takes place before the first book. Roland goes into this abandoned town, called Eluria, and things happen from there. Its just as captivating as the rest of the Dark Tower series. Also interesting is that this story seems to link up with something in the book “The Talisman”, (which King wrote with Peter Straub). Fans of King will enjoy this story.
The story that the book takes its title from, “Everything’s Eventual”, is a story that reminds me of part of the Dark Tower series as well. But, even if you have not read the series, you can enjoy this one. A teenager, whose life is going nowhere, finds he has a strange power, and gets offered an even stranger job. A good read on its own.
Overall, there were more stories I liked in this book than ones I didn’t like so much. This is a good book when you want to read a Stephen King story, but don’t have that kind of time. Bite sized horror, to be enjoyed like the little “fun size” candy bars one gets while trick-or-treating.
