So, here's something new here -- A Giveaway!
As you may or may not know, Stephen King's newest, Full Dark, No Stars hits book shelves today. It is a collection of four novellas, much like his previous works Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight. So, guess what? Courtesy of Simon & Schuster, I actually have one of these bad boys to give away.
If you live in Canada or the US, just email me here, and tell me what your favourite King story is and why, and this Friday I will announce a winner!
For more info on Full Dark, No Stars, take a look at the press notes below;
"I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger . . ." writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up "1922," the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing tales from Stephen King. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness.
In "Big Driver," a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself.
"Fair Extension," the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the funniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Dave Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment.
When her husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It's a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends "A Good Marriage."
