Horror

4 out of 5 stars
The Cat From Hell is actually a surprisingly good story. It sets a certain chilling mood in your mind, seemingly like a mystery unraveling itself. The story was very descriptive and relative. It seems like a gritty, blackened story because of the hitman but ends up as an elegant well planned story. For something he was just placing in a short story book it was surprisingly fun to read.
The Cat From Hell is a novella in the short stories book Just After Sunset by Stephen King. King puts a new twist on this story by adding elegancy and twisted images into your mind. If this was published as a full length novel I would say it would have to be a must read. This story is very chilling but at the same time extremely interesting, therefore making it a fun and easy read. Not only was this story good but also many others in this book. The only downfall was its length. I had read The Mist in The Skeleton Crew and I believed it was good but it was missing a lot. Later they published an actual book of it and it felt completed after I had read it. Had this been longer it would make for a fun, time occupying read, even though it is pretty “filling“ as it is. Overall I believe it deserves a 4 out of 5.
