From the #1
New York Times
bestselling author Stephen King, four “disturbing, fascinating” (
The Washington Post
) novellas—including the story “1922,” a Netflix original film—that explore the dark side of human nature.
“The pages practically turn themselves” (
USA TODAY
) in
Full Dark, No Stars
, an unforgettable collection centered around the theme of retribution.
In “1922,” a violence awakens inside a man when his wife proposes selling off the family homestead, setting in motion a grisly train of murder and madness.
In “Big Driver”, a mystery writer is brutally assaulted by a stranger along a Massachusetts back road and plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself.
In “Fair Extension,” making a deal with the devil not only saves a man from terminal illness but also provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment.
In “A Good Marriage,” the trust forged by more than twenty years of matrimony is irrevocably shattered when a woman makes a chance discovery leading to the horrifying implications of just who her husband really is.
Like
Different Seasons
and
Four Past Midnight
, which generated such enduring hit films as
The Shawshank Redemption
and
Stand by Me
, King’s
Full Dark, No Stars
is a “page-turner” (
The New York Times
) “as gripping as his epic novels” (
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
), and “an extraordinary collection, thrillingly merciless, and a career high point” (
The Telegraph
, UK).
