and over again a columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries a poignant tale about
the end of the human race and a firework competition between neighbours which reaches an
explosive climax. And exclusive to this paperback edition (and the eBook from 6 September) a
brand new story 'Cookie Jar'. 'I made them especially for you ' says King. 'Feel free to
examine them but please be careful. The best of them have teeth.'
