![]() ![]() At least five of the stories in Night Shift have been adapted, and the Dollar Baby program helped launch the career of Frank Darabont, who has since directed several award-winning King adaptations, including The Shawshank Redemption (1994). In response, King initiated his Dollar Baby program, in which he grants permission to students to adapt one of his selected short stories for one dollar. In 1977, King received many letters from film students interested in adapting stories from Night Shift. To bolster the collection for publication, King composed four new stories: “Jerusalem’s Lot,” “Quitters, Inc.,” “The Last Rung on the Ladder,” and “The Woman in the Room.” Several of the stories have been adapted into feature-length films and television series, with the Children of the Corn film series proving the most enduring. Nine of the stories were published in Cavalier from 1970 to 1975, while others were published in Cosmopolitan, Gallery, Ubris, Penthouse, and Maine Magazine. ![]() The stories that comprise Night Shift account for much of King’s early apprenticeship toward writing. ![]()
