You Like It Darker: Stories, by Stephen King

From master storyteller Stephen King comes You Like It Darker, a compelling new collection of twelve short stories, many previously unpublished, showcasing some of his finest work.

In the afterword, King declares, “You like it darker? Fine, so do I.” This collection dives into the darker aspects of life—both metaphorical and literal. King’s stories, rich in themes of fate, mortality, and the surreal, offer the same depth and enjoyment as his novels, capturing the exhilaration of escaping the mundane.

Notable stories include:

"Two Talented Bastids," revealing the secret behind two men’s extraordinary skills.
"Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream," where a psychic vision dramatically impacts numerous lives.
"Rattlesnakes," a Cujo sequel about a widower’s unexpected, complicated inheritance.
"The Dreamers," where a Vietnam vet discovers some mysteries are best left alone.
"The Answer Man," exploring whether prescience is a gift or a curse, and finding meaning amid tragedy.
King's unparalleled talent to thrill and comfort shines through, making each story iconic. You like it darker? You got it.
