Though these four, long stories probably won't cause too many nightmares - well, maybe about rats - it's still not a good idea to read these alone at night because they are very disturbing, and they will stay with the reader long after the lights are dimmed...King's characters are well-drawn in relatively few words, although the first two stories are long enough to stand on their own as short novels. Even Tess proves true, although it took a statistic quoted on the penultimate page of her tale to make her initial reactions to the pain she suffers seem logical. But as in his other novels and stories, the narrative is the star. King's writing keeps the reader eagerly turning pages, even while feeling horrified and disgusted by what's happening. And he always seems to sneak in a surprise at the end. King never disappoints.\"-Colleen O'Dea, Asbury Park Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, four \"disturbing, fascinating\" (The Washington Post) novellas--including the story \"1922,\" a Netflix original film--that explore the dark side of human nature.\"The pages practically turn themselves\" (USA TODAY) in Full Dark, No Stars, an unforgettable collection centered around the theme of retribution. In \"1922,\" a violence awakens inside a man when his wife proposes selling off the family homestead, setting in motion a grisly train of murder and madness. In \"Big Driver\", a mystery writer is brutally assaulted by a stranger along a Massachusetts back road and plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself. In \"Fair Extension,\" making a deal with the devil not only saves a man from terminal illness but also provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment. In \"A Good Marriage,\" the trust forged by more than twenty years of matrimony is irrevocably shattered when a woman makes a chance discovery leading to the horrifying implications of just who her husband really is. Like Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight, which generated such enduring hit films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, King's Full Dark, No Stars is a \"page-turner\" (The New York Times) \"as gripping as his epic novels\" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), and \"an extraordinary collection, thrillingly merciless, and a career high point\" (The Telegraph, UK).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eKing, Stephen\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStephen King is the author of more than sixty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers.
