3. One of his better short stories/novellas.
Good character development, and good dialogue.

4. King is a genius, imho. "Christine" is still my favorite King story.

6. The ending of the short story is different then in the movie.
The kid is killed earlier in the story, and there's kind of a non-ending. They just keep driving forever and never find an end to the mist. It's creepier than the movie version.
