You Like It Darker by Stephen King

Product Details

About the Book

You Like It Darker is Stephen King's seventh short story collection, gathering twelve stories — many never-before-published — that explore the darker corners of everyday life, both metaphorical and literal. As King writes in the collection's afterword, "You like it darker? Fine, so do I," and these tales deliver on that promise, ranging from cosmic horror to heartbreaking human drama. In the opening story, a grieving widower returns to his childhood home after his wife's sudden death, only to encounter strange occurrences and a dark, prowling presence. Elsewhere, "Two Talented Bastids" unravels the decades-old secret behind two lifelong friends' extraordinary gifts, while "Rattlesnakes" delivers a haunting, long-awaited follow-up to King's iconic 1981 novel Cujo.

Exploring themes of fate, luck, grief, and the thin line between sanity and madness, You Like It Darker showcases King's mastery of the short story form after half a century of storytelling. Several stories first appeared in prestigious publications like Harper's and Esquire, while the collection's final piece, "The Answer Man," is a story King began writing nearly fifty years ago, in 1977. Rich, unsettling, and often surprisingly emotional, this collection proves that King's short fiction packs every bit as much power as his novels.
