If It Bleeds (Holly Gibney #2) by Stephen King

Product Details

About the Book

If It Bleeds brings together four brand-new novellas from master storyteller Stephen King, each pulling readers into a distinct and unforgettable world. In "Mr. Harrigan's Phone," a boy forms an unlikely friendship with a wealthy, reclusive old man, only to discover after his death that the smartphone he once gave him may still be a working connection to the other side. "The Life of Chuck" blends coming-of-age warmth with cosmic horror across three reverse-chronological acts exploring one ordinary man's extraordinary inner universe. "Rat" follows a struggling novelist who strikes a dangerous, almost Faustian bargain to finally finish his book.

The collection's centerpiece and title novella, "If It Bleeds," reunites readers with fan-favorite Holly Gibney, the private investigator first introduced in the Bill Hodges trilogy and The Outsider. After a package containing unsettling footage of a school bombing arrives at her detective agency, Holly senses something deeply wrong about the calm, too-perfect television reporter covering the tragedy — and finds herself hunting an entity connected to the sinister force she once faced in The Outsider. Blending earthbound fears of aging, isolation, and the vampiric nature of the 24-hour news cycle with King's signature supernatural dread, If It Bleeds stands among his most acclaimed and emotionally resonant novella collections.
