Just After Sunset by Stephen King
What would you do if your everyday world were turned upside down in an instant? Here are thirteen riveting stories about relationships with unexpected twists. Be very careful what you wish for. Read about the acts of kindness from strangers: 'workmen' who intervene in the obsessive exercise regime of a middle aged artist in Stationary Bike; the unexpected visitor, a blind girl, whose kiss saves a dying man; a mute hitchhiker who helps a driver get over his wife's affair. There are tales of obsession and fights for power: The Gingerbread Girl runs and runs to ease her pain; two neighbours contesting for a piece of land get into A Very Tight Place and a man who witnesses an act of domestic violence in a Rest Stop needs to step into his identity as a crime writer if he's to intervene. Then there are the unexpected outside events which turn people's worlds upside down or the right way up: a young couple, David and Willa who are derailed on a train find themselves seeking the bright lights in a nearby town -- and playing the jukebox, for eternity; an older couple want to punctuate the banal humdrum with something unusual -- until it happens.
'King has the ability to capture the reader's imagination from the first page of each tale with his clever and terrifying storytellingIt is impossible to put the book down' -- Sun 'Spooky, mysterious, gripping and satisfyingly scary' -- Sunday Telegraph 'His most accomplished work: 13 beautifully turned tales, no two of which are alike' -- Daily Express 'Nobody does it better than the master' -- Time Out
King is the author of forty bestsellers, including MISERY and CELL. Some of his books have been turned into celebrated films including The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. He now divides his time between Maine and Florida.
