Book: Full Dark No Stars

Author: Stephen King

Pages: 384

This is my 179th read this year

This is a book of 4 short-ish stories.  In "1922" a man is upset that his wife wants to sell the family homestead, and when tragedy strikes, he has to decide what to do.  In "Big Driver" - a write is assulted on her way home from a book reading, and as she pieces together what happened to her, she discovers that revenge is the best approach.  In "Fair Extension" a man makes a deal with the devil which then spirals another family out of control.  And in "A Good Marriage" a wife discovers the horrific past of her husband and has to decide what she should do next.

This book was excellent.  Each story was well written, and around 100 pages each.  It was enough for good character development and to have a nice beginning, middle and end.  I read a lot of King's short story books, but most of them have stories that are less than 50 pages - I liked this better.  My favorite story of the group was "1922" - but probably because it was the longest.  Check this one out.
