by Stephen King
Night Shift (1979)
* * (Okay) Science Fiction
An astronaut returned from a trip around Venus worries about the mysterious, itchy growths hidden under the bandages covering his hands.
There is a mix of science fiction and horror elements in this story that simply doesn’t add up to anything spectacular. The story seems run-of-the-mill – a recycled mass of 50’s and 60’s, B-class sci fi. Very little of King’s voice is apparent in the prose here. Granted, this is an earlier work, but while reading I found very little of the author I’ve come to enjoy so much.
