title: Dolan's Cadillac: And Other Stories
author:  Stephen King 
description: These four unabridged mini-chillers culled from King's 1993 short story collection, <I>Nightmares &amp; Dreamscapes</I>, provide their celebrity readers with the chance to show off a different, darker side. Whoopi Goldberg delivers a crisp, straightforward rendition of Suffer Little Children that pits an aging teacher against a class she fears is being possessed by monsters. Tim Curry sheds his trademark arch tone to play Crouch End solemnly and sympathetically. And in the book's best surprise, Rob Lowe's rendition of the title story wrings every ounce of suspense from the grim revenge yarn. The only clunker is Yeardley Smith's reading of Rainy Season; her childlike nasal voice, so marvelous when playing TV's animated Lisa Simpson, is completely at odds with the material. <I>(June)</I> <BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  I waited and watched for seven years. I saw him come and go—Dolan. I watched
  him stroll into fancy restaurants dressed in a tuxedo, always with a different
  woman on his arm, always with his pair of bodyguards bookending him. I watched
  his hair go from iron-gray to a fashionable silver while my own simply receded
  until I was bald. I watched him leave Las Vegas on his regular pilgrimages to
  the West Coast; I watched him return. On two or three occasions I watched from
  a side road as his Sedan DeVille, the same color as his hair, swept by on
  Route 71 toward Los Angeles. And on a few occasions I watched him leave his
  place in the Hollywood Hills in the same gray Cadillac to return to Las
  Vegas—not often, though. I am a schoolteacher. Schoolteachers and high-priced
  hoodlums do not have the same freedom of movement; it’s just an economic fact
  of life.
