Night Shift was
published in 1978. The copy I read this time was published in 1984, and
includes some photos from the movie Children
Of The Corn.
This blog started out as Michael Doherty's Personal Library, containing reviews of books that normally don't get reviewed: basically adult and cult books. It was all just a bit of fun, you understand. But when I embarked on a three-year Shakespeare study, Shakespeare basically took over, which is a good thing.

Shakespeare Reference in Night Shift
I recently revisited Stephen King’s Night Shift, a collection of short stories I hadn’t read since I
was in my teens. And, yes, there is a Shakespeare reference. It comes in the
story “The Mangler.” One character says, “If seven hundred monkeys typed for
seven hundred years –” and another character finishes the thought, “One of them
would turn out the works of Shakespeare” (p. 82).
