Description
*#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* From the legendary storyteller and master of short fiction
Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new “exceptionally compelling novellas
that reaffirm [King’s] mastery of the form” (The Washington Post).Readers adore Stephen King’s
novels, and his novellas are their own dark treat, briefer but just as impactful and enduring as his
longer fiction. Many of his novellas have been made into iconic films, including “The Body” (Stand
By Me) and “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” (Shawshank Redemption). Four brilliant
new tales in If It Bleeds are sure to prove as iconic as their predecessors. Once again, King’s
remarkable range is on full display. In the title story, reader favorite Holly Gibney (from the Mr.
Mercedes trilogy and The Outsider) must face her fears, and possibly another outsider—this time
on her own. In “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” an intergenerational friendship has a disturbing afterlife.
“The Life of Chuck” explores, beautifully, how each of us contains multitudes. And in “Rat,” a
struggling writer must contend with the darker side of ambition. If these novellas show King’s
range, they also prove that certain themes endure. One of King’s great concerns is evil, and in If It
Bleeds, there’s plenty of it. There is also evil’s opposite, which in King’s fiction often manifests as
friendship. Holly is reminded that friendship is not only life-affirming but can be life-saving. Young
Craig befriends Mr. Harrigan, and the sweetness of this late-in-life connection is its own reward.
“Exactly what I wanted to read right now,” said Ruth Franklin in a rave on the cover of The New
York Times Book Review. “Phenomenal," said Brian Truitt in USA TODAY. “King still owns the
fright business like none other.”
