  Skeleton Crew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skeleton Crew (1985) is the second published anthology of short stories by Stephen King.
Skeleton Crew was originally published in hardback form by Putnam (512 pages).
In addition to the introduction, in which King directly addresses his readers in his signature conversational style, Skeleton Crew features an epilogue of sorts entitled "Notes" wherein King discusses the origins of several stories in the collection.

 EvilHat.Com: Skeleton Crew
The Skeleton Crew is a Silver Age Sentinels campaign seed that focuses on the lives and work of the members of one unit of the INS Special Situations Control, Containment, and Cleanup squad.
Underfunded and overallocated, the Skeleton Crew, as SSCCC came to be called, is sent into situations after the nation's supers have saved the day, or where they can't be bothered, or when it's simply too weird -- so it must be a case for the government.
The Skeleton Crew is an adaptation to the Sentinelsverse setting of a pet concept of mine that dates back to high school, originally conceived as a comic book which I plotted and a friend drew and which went not much of anywhere.

Skeleton Crew had been intended as a season-ending cliffhanger, before NBC stupidly cancelled the series.
Even before I saw Skeleton Crew I had been of the opinion that Death Watch showed unmistakable signs of having been cobbled together, and was for me, a most unsatisfactory episode.

 Stephen King Skeleton Crew
Skeleton Crew contains a superb short novel ("The Mist") that alone is worth the price of admission, plus two forgettable poems and 20 short stories on such themes as an evil toy monkey, a human-eating water slick, a machine that avenges murder, and unnatural creatures that inhabit the thick woods near Castle Rock, Maine.
