#1Ā NEW YORK TIMESĀ BESTSELLER*
From the legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new āexceptionally compelling novellas that reaffirm [Kingās] mastery of the formā (The Washington Post).
Readers adore Stephen Kingās novels, and his novellas are their own dark treat, briefer but just as impactful and enduring as his longer fiction. Many of his novellas have been made into iconic films, including āThe Bodyā (Stand By Me) and āRita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemptionā (Shawshank Redemption).
Four brilliant new tales inĀ If It BleedsĀ are sure to prove as iconic as their predecessors. Once again, Kingās remarkable range is on full display. In the title story, reader favorite Holly Gibney (from the Mr. Mercedes trilogy andĀ The Outsider) must face her fears, and possibly another outsiderāthis time on her own. In āMr. Harriganās Phoneā an intergenerational friendship has a disturbing afterlife. āThe Life of Chuckā explores, beautifully, how each of us contains multitudes. And in āRat,ā a struggling writer must contend with the darker side of ambition.
If these novellas show Kingās range, they also prove that certain themes endure. One of Kingās great concerns is evil, and inĀ If It Bleeds, thereās plenty of it. There is also evilās opposite, which in Kingās fiction often manifests as friendship. Holly is reminded that friendship is not only life-affirming but can be life-saving. Young Craig befriends Mr. Harrigan, and the sweetness of this late-in-life connection is its own reward.
āExactly what I wanted to read right now,ā said Ruth Franklin in a rave on the cover ofĀ The New York Times Book Review. āPhenomenal," said Brian Truitt inĀ USA TODAY. āKing still owns the fright business like none other.ā
