You Like It Darker

´You like it darker? Fine, so do I´ writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of stories that delve into the darker part of life - both metaphorical and literal. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys and mysteries; each feels iconic. In ´Danny Coughlin´s Bad Dream´, a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny´s most catastrophically. ´Rattlesnakes´, a sequel to Cujo, sees a grieving widower travel to Florida for respite and instead receive an unexpected inheritance - with major strings attached. ´The Answer Man´ asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful. King writes to feel ´the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind´ and his ability to surprise, amaze and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. You like it darker? You got it.
