I assume the extra story won't be included in the ebook version?

Don't worry - if it is a short story and not a novella, you can bet your bottom dollar it'll appear again in SK's next collection of short stories.

Damn, I'll have to check that out.

Anyway, I read this a while ago, but I rank them this way:

4>2>3>1

4 and 2 are excellent, 3 is very good and 1 is just OK for me.

True, but given he just put out Just After Sunset, the next collection probably won't happen for quite some time.

I am curious if it's as dark and twisted as the 4 novellas.

Hmm, can you elaborate on what twist you're referring to at the end of Big Driver? I just finished it and am not quite sure what you're referring to...
