"The Man in the Black Suit" by Stephen King

Gary, the protagonist, was telling the story about his childhood. I personally loved this story because it's like one of those children stories people told that scared the living monkeys out you. Well Gary went to go fish one day and his parents told him not to go passed the bridge but he did because he was a typical curious little boy and found a man on a tree. The man on the tree was the devil who kind of saved him from a bee who Gary believed was the same bee that killed his older brother. The story had so many turns and sharp curves that made it interesting also from when the Man (devil) told him that his mom died and that he was going to eat Gary. When i have kids in the future i would so read this story in a heart beat. This should have been read to me because i was a nosey, curious person and still am maybe i wouldn't have gotten in a lot trouble. And the part of having the devil as your enemy is scary especially when your a kid being traumatized that the devil will get you if you do bad things can scared people to death... This would fall in number 15 of my top 20 favorite stories... I love Stephen King's stories... I'm a big horror story/ movie freak.
