Full Dark, No Stars - Stephen King

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).
