Stephen King's Lamplight:
A recovering alcoholic writer who lives in Maine receives a package from an antique store he ordered online. When he opens it, it's a lamplight. Before it arrived everything in his home was normal, but then things become paranormal. He starts seeing things when they are not there, and he discovers that the lamplight has something to do with it.
When he tries to get rid of it, the lamplight finds its way back to the house. When he contacts the antique store and asks the manager the history of the lamplight, he finds out that a schizophrenic electrician transferred his soul into it.

Stephen King's Shrinker
A high school teacher/divorced father encounters an old hippie merchant who persuades him to try on a rainbow afro wig that he claims was worn by Robert Oppenheimer. Despite his skepticism, he tries it on and gets a migraine headache. Later, while in class he discovers his glasses are too big to fit his face. After consulting a doctor, he learns the horrible truth-his head is shrinking.

I got one of King's audio books. I DO like his narration voice. He is also a great speaker in interviews. I read Danse Macabre--I like that more than his fiction.

I've always considered King a great story teller and a lousy writer. A man in need of an honest editor.
