IF IT BLEEDS - STEPHEN KING KARTONIERT (TB)

*#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.
