Synopsis

Workers at an old mill are tasked with cleaning up the basement. Nobody had been down there in years, so nobody could have expected what they would find.

History

First publication: Cavalier, October 1970

Review

This is a very early story by King and I think it does show that he had a lot of development ahead as a writer, but still this is a really good short story. Compact and to the point, it gets to the terrors waiting for you and brings them on strong.
