Horror master Stephen King‘s If It Bleeds, a brand new collection of novellas, is releasing tomorrow, April 21, and he wants to read you the first chapter while you sit around waiting.
Yes, Stephen King is reading the first chapter of a brand new Stephen King story to you, before it’s even released to the public. So, ya know, not everything is terrible right now.
Sit back, relax, and let Stephen King take you anywhere but here…
From #1 New York Times bestselling author, legendary storyteller, and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new and compelling novellas—Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, The Life of Chuck, Rat and the title story If It Bleeds — each pulling readers into intriguing and frightening places.
“In the title story, reader favorite Holly Gibney (from the Mr. Mercedes trilogy and The Outsider) must face her fears, and possibly another outsider—this time on her own. In “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” an intergenerational friendship has a disturbing afterlife. “The Life of Chuck” explores, beautifully, how each of us contains multitudes. And in “Rat,” a struggling writer must contend with the darker side of ambition.”
