This is a wonderful book, and I would truely recommend it.Stephen King likes to tease his readers with the prospect of retirement but, at 64 he only seems to be speeding up. In the summer of 2010, America’s most enduring popular novelist celebrated seven years as a columnist with Entertainment Weekly: this autumn, he launches both a new comics collaboration with the writer Scott Snyder, American Vampire, and a new collection of novellas, Full Dark, No Stars, an unfashionable literary form with which he has traditionally enjoyed greater than usual success. He also recently announced that he is writing a sequel to his classic novel The Shining, suggesting strong resistance from whatever shadowy muse lurks in his mental basement to any attempt at handing in the pen.
This is a classic ! It is s must for all Stephen King fans. All four short stories are enjoyable in a dark way - a very apt title. The stories are very varied- ranging from a tale about a farm in rural Nebraska (1922) in the 1920s- to a modern story of revenge after a violent attack on a young woman(Big Driver). There is a chilling tale in "Fair Extension" about the price of jealousy and its consequences. The final story (A Good Marriage) asks whether it is ever possible to know someone completely - even after years of marriage there may still be some surprises in store - and some you would rather not know! This is a quartet of masterful tales which may make you check out those seemingly innocent boxes in the garage - or then again perhaps they are best left unopened ! Innocence is bliss?
