Behind the house there's a carefully cleared path up into the woods to a place where generations of local children have walked in procession with solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.

A master storyteller at his best, O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King presents a generous collection of stories, including several brand-new ones, accompanied by insightful autobiographical comments on their creation. Since his first collection, Nightshift, published thirty-five years ago, King has captivated readers with his short fiction prowess. This new collection features recent stories that have never appeared in a book before, each introduced with reflections on their origins and his motivations. The stories explore thrilling connections and themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, and the desire to correct past mistakes. "Afterlife" tells of a man who, after dying of colon cancer, relives his life, repeating his errors. Many stories focus on characters at life's end, confronting their past actions. Others delve into the discovery of supernatural powers, such as a columnist who kills by writing obituaries in "Obits," and an old judge in "The Dune" who sees names in the sand of those destined to die in freak accidents. In "Morality," King examines how a marriage unravels after a couple enters what seems to be a winning devil's pact. Magnificent and eerie, these stories showcase one of King's finest gifts to his readers—crafted with care and intrigue.
