With a bonus story for the paperback edition.
‘Do you prefer darker stories? So do I,’ writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of stories that delve into the darker side of life — both metaphorical and literal. Each story offers its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic.
In ‘Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream’, a brief and unprecedented psychic flash disrupts dozens of lives, with Danny’s being the most catastrophic. ‘Rattlesnakes’, a sequel to Cujo, features a grieving widower traveling to Florida for relief but instead receiving an unexpected inheritance — with major conditions attached. ‘The Answer Man’ questions whether prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
King writes to feel ‘the exhilaration of leaving ordinary daily life behind’, and his ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and comfort remains unmatched. Do you prefer darker stories? You got it.
‘As classic as King’s novels are, his shorter fiction has been equally gripping over the years’ USA Today
