With stories that have appeared in The New Yorker, Playboy, and McSweeney´s, this classic collection displays the phenomenally broad readership of #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King.
Just After Sunset--call it dusk, call it twilight, it´s a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for the shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It´s the perfect time for Stephen King.
Who but Stephen King would turn a Port-O-San into a slimy birth canal, or a roadside honky-tonk into a place for endless love? A book salesman with a grievance might pick up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well. Or an exercise routine on a stationary bicycle, begun to reduce bad cholesterol, might take its rider on a captivating--and then terrifying--journey. Set on a remote key in Florida, "The Gingerbread Girl" is a riveting tale featuring a young woman born vulnerable and resourceful. In "Ayana," a blind girl works a miracle with a kiss and the touch of her hand.
For King, the line between the living and the dead is often blurry, and the seams that hold our reality intact might tear apart at any moment. In one of the longer stories here, "N.," a psychiatric patient´s irrational thinking might create an apocalyptic threat in the Maine countryside...or keep the world from falling victim to it.

-Rest Stop
-Stationary Bike
-The Things They Left Behind
-Graduation Afternoon
