I read it first about 10 years ago and it's still one of those stories that sticks with me after all this time. It's a pretty quick read: https://ia801904.us.archive.org/35/items/the-jaunt-stephen-king/The%20Jaunt%20-%20Stephen%20King.pdf

I read this in 6th grade. No idea why my parents let me read this, I think they just wanted me to read. It has haunted me ever since.

Not sure how it’s sold now but back then it was part of the Skeleton Crew anthology, which has some other almost-as-terrifying stories.

Survivor Type is good gruesome fun

The Mist is classic King although it drags a little

I always liked Beachworld

The Raft and The Monkey are all time great King shorts

Pretty sure I was signed this story by a reading teacher in 5th or 6th grade, whatever year was the last they had "reading" as a class. Kinda fucked up.
