> [@Whatcha Readin' May 2011 Edition](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whatcha-readin-may-2011-edition/580277/99): > > Next up, Shivers VI, a collection of short horror stories edited by Richard Chizmar. The first story, Serial, was very fast-paced and gory. The second story is The Crate, by Stephen King, a straightforward re-telling of the segment from the movie Creepshow. I gave this up after a few more stories. None of them were well-done, and the subject matter was just bringing me down. Next up, [Guys Read: Funny Business](http://www.amazon.com/Guys-Read-Business-Jon-Scieszka/dp/0061963739), short stories by some well-known authors. This is the first of a series aimed at young men to foster more interest in reading. My fourteen year old son liked it and said he would look for more. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whatcha-readin-june-2011-edition/583834)._
