Stephen King, author of If It Bleeds

The novella is a form that Stephen King has returned to over and over again in the course of his amazing career, and many have been made into iconic films, including “The Body” (Stand By Me) and “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” (Shawshank Redemption). Like FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT, DIFFERENT SEASONS and most recently FULL DARK, NO STARS, IF IT BLEEDS is a uniquely satisfying collection of longer short fiction by an incomparably gifted writer. Each of these novellas --- "Mr. Harrigan’s Phone," "The Life of Chuck," "Rat" and the title story "If It Bleeds" --- pulls you into intriguing and frightening places.
