http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/27460000/27460520.JPG
I used to be a huge fan of his books back inthe 80's (even though his infatuation with Stephen King was distracting) and just last week ran across a copy of of his short story anthology "Blue World". A great short story collection (and long out of print) containing one of my favorite stories of all time, Blue World, proving that when he doesn't try to imitate someone else he's a very good writer.

A great book. It reminds me of the best parts of my favorite later novel by Grisham, The Broker.
