Stephen King has written more than 50 books, dozens of number one New York Times bestsellers, and many unforgettable movies, but many would argue that it’s with his short stories that his genius really shines. These narrative gems truly showcase the depth and breadth of his imagination, allowing him to tackle subjects ranging from the bone-chilling to the quirky to the sublime.
Just After Sunset, King’s first short-story collection in six years, features some of his strongest and most inventive work yet. Who but Stephen King could imagine a Port-a-San as a birth canal, or envision a stationary bicycle that can take its rider on a captivating—then terrifying—journey? And that’s just the beginning. In “The Gingerbread Girl,” a young runner peers into a neighbor’s driveway…and finds herself in the lair of a madman. “The Things They Left Behind,” in contrast, follows a 9/11 survivor who finds an unusual way of easing his feelings of guilt. And then there’s “Ayana,” a haunting tribute to his late mother-in-law that brings to mind King’s classic, The Green Mile.
Featuring 13 stories in all, Just After Sunset is Stephen King at his best. It’s a must-have for anyone who loves a well-told tale.
