Full Dark, No Stars

Más información sobre el libro

"I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger..." reflects Wilfred Leland James in his chilling confession that opens this collection of dark tales. For James, this stranger emerges when his wife, Arlette, suggests selling their family homestead and relocating to Omaha, triggering a horrific spiral into murder and madness. In "Big Driver," cozy-mystery writer Tess meets her own stranger on a back road in Massachusetts after taking a shortcut home from a book club. Violated and left for dead, she devises a revenge plot that forces her to confront the stranger within herself. "Fair Extension," the shortest yet perhaps the most sinister and humorous, follows Dave Streeter as he makes a deal with the devil to escape fatal cancer and gain retribution for years of resentment. Meanwhile, Darcy Anderson, searching for batteries in the garage while her husband is away, stumbles upon a shocking revelation about him that shatters their marriage. Like previous works that inspired iconic films, this collection showcases Stephen King's mastery of the long story form, weaving together themes of darkness and self-discovery. Contains: 1922, Big Driver, A Fair Extension, A Good Marriage.
