Publisher Description

From 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).

Best SK book ever

Great book

My thoughts

Book was good! I have been a Stephen King fan as long as I can remember. However... It gets a bit tiresome when in the past 10 years he let's his politics and dislike of the Republicans cloud his storytelling. I mean really Steve you needed to mention Sarah Palin in your afterword! I look to escape everyday realities and take my hard earned money to purchase your novels only to leave with a bitter taste so you can get in a jive or two at the Republicans. When I last checked the Democrats have their share of scandals and look what has become of our country since You Steve and others elected Obama!
I rate this book a 3 could of been a 4 but the political aspect just did me in! This could very well unfortunately be my very last Stephen King book. What a shame!

Creepy and deliciously wonderful at the same time.

SK does not disappoint, as usual. I love this book for the same reason I love all his others...I like to be scared and they gave me a thrill, and because he writes people so well it's uncanny. He doesn't write us as we'd like to see ourselves or as we'd like to be, but as we really are...striving to be good, trying to do the right thing, sometimes falling short...and some so unbelievably evil....wow! A must read!
