Book: You Like It Darker
Author: Stephen King
Pages: 512
This is my 92nd read for the year
This is a contemplation of short stories. From Amazon:
"Two Talented Bastids" explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In "Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream" a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny's most catastrophically. In "Rattlesnakes" a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead received an unexpected inheritance - with major strings attached. In "The Dreamers" a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. "The Answer Man" asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
This was an okay book. The two longest stories of the book (Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream and Rattlesnakes) were my favorite. Short stories are always hard to get into, and not my favorite types of books. This is King's newest book, and while some of the stories were a little dull, overall it was a good read.
Stars: 3
