Stephen King You Like It Darker

“You want it darker? So do I,” Stephen King notes in the afterword to this powerful new story collection — a journey deep into life’s shadowed corners, both real and imagined.

Each tale carries its own chills, wonders, and secrets; each one lingers long after the last page.

In Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream, an unexpected and fleeting psychic vision disrupts countless lives — none more than Danny’s own. Rattlesnakes, a chilling continuation of Cujo, follows a grieving widower who seeks peace in Florida but finds a troubling legacy with dangerous consequences. In The Answer Man, King questions whether knowing the future is a blessing or a curse — and shows that even a tragedy-filled life can hold meaning. King writes for the thrill of escaping the everyday, and his unmatched gift for shock, awe, comfort, and fear is on full display here. You wanted darker? Here it is.
