A summary from Goodreads:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary new collection of twelve short stories, many never-before-published, and some of his best EVER.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou like it darker? Fine, so do I,\u201d<\/em> writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life\u2014both 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 \u201cthe exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,\u201d and in You Like It Darker<\/em>, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo Talented Bastids\u201d explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In \u201cDanny Coughlin\u2019s Bad Dream,\u201d a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny\u2019s most catastrophically. In \u201cRattlesnakes,\u201d a sequel to Cujo<\/em>, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance\u2014with major strings attached. In \u201cThe Dreamers,\u201d a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. \u201cThe Answer Man\u201d asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

King\u2019s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
