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).
