More about the book
Now in mass market paperback, this collection features four riveting, never-before-published novellas from Stephen King, along with a new short story, "Under the Weather." In “1922,” Wilfred Leland James confesses to the awakening of a dark stranger within himself when his wife, Arlette, suggests selling their family homestead, leading to a gruesome path of murder and madness. “Big Driver” follows cozy-mystery writer Tess, who encounters a stranger on a back road in Massachusetts after a book club meeting. Violated and left for dead, Tess seeks revenge, confronting the stranger within herself. “Fair Extension,” the shortest tale, offers a darkly humorous twist as Dave Streeter makes a deal with the devil, trading his cancer for a lifetime of resentment. In another gripping story, Darcy Anderson discovers the horrifying truth about her husband while searching for batteries in the garage, leading to a shocking revelation that ends their good marriage. Like King’s previous works that inspired enduring films, this collection showcases his mastery of the long story form, delivering intense narratives that explore the darker sides of human nature.
