A master storyteller at his best?the O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King delivers a generous collection of stories, several of them brand-new, featuring revelatory autobiographical comments on when, why, and how he came to write (or rewrite) each story.Since his first collection, Nightshift, published thirty-five years ago, Stephen King has dazzled listeners with his genius as a writer of short fiction. In this new collection he assembles, for the first time, recent stories that have never been published in a book. He introduces each with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it.There are thrilling connections between stories; themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. ?Afterlife? is about a man who died of colon cancer and keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. Several stories feature characters at the end of life, revisiting their crimes and misdemeanors. Other stories address what happens when someone discovers that he has supernatural powers?the columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries in ?Obits;? the old judge in ?The Dune? who, as a boy, canoed to a deserted island and saw names written in the sand, the names of people who then died in freak accidents. In ?Morality,? King looks at how a marriage and two lives fall apart after the wife and husband enter into what seems, at first, a devil?s pact they can win.Magnificent, eerie, utterly compelling, these stories comprise one of King?s finest gifts to his constant fan??I made them especially for you,? says King. ?Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth.?Mile 81 read by Thomas SadoksiPremium Harmony read by Will PattonBatman and Robin Have an Altercation read by Santino FontanaThe Dune read by Edward Herrmann Bad Little Kid read by Dylan BakerA Death read by Cotter SmithThe Bone Church read by Cotter SmithMorality read by Mare Winningham Afterlife read by Dylan Baker Ur read by Holter Graham Herman Wouk Is Still Alive read by Brooke Bloom and Kathleen Chalfant Under the Weather read by Peter Friedman Blockade Billy read by Craig Wasson Mister Yummy read by Peter Friedman Tommy read by Stephen KingThe Little Green God of Agony read by Hope DavisThat Bus is Another World read by Fred Weller Obits read by Fred Weller Drunken Fireworks read by Tim SampleSummer Thunder read by Will Patton
