NAMED A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW TOP 10 HORROR BOOK OF 2024
WINNER OF THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR HORROR
âStephen King knows You Like It Darker and obliges with sensational new talesâ (USA TODAY): From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King, an extraordinary collection of stories that are âa master class in tension and full of Kingâs dark humorâ (The New York Times Book Review)ânow with a bonus story, âThe Music Room.â
âYou like it darker? Fine, so do I,â writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of lifeâboth metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel âthe exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,â and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.
âTwo Talented Bastidsâ explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In âDanny Coughlinâs Bad Dream,â a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Dannyâs most catastrophically. In âRattlesnakes,â a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritanceâwith major strings attached. In âThe Dreamers,â a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. âThe Answer Manâ asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
âKingâs skills as a storyteller remain undimmedâ (The Minnesota Star Tribune) and his ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace is unsurpassed. âThe titular darkness promised is as riveting and all-consuming as everâ (New York magazine). You like it darker? You got it.
