Bazaar of Bad Dreams (Paperback Anthology) by Stephen King
"I made these stories especially for you. Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth." - the author
Includes the story Premium Harmony--set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine.
The masterful #1 New York Times bestselling story collection from O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King includes twenty-one iconic stories with accompanying autobiographical comments on when, why and how he came to write (or rewrite) each one.
"Bazaar of Bad Dreams is bursting with classic King terror, but what we love most are the thoughtful introductions he gives to each tale that explain what was going on in his life as he wrote it." - Entertainment Weekly
In Afterlife, a man who died of colon cancer keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. A columnist kills people by writing their obituaries in Obits. In The Dune, a boy finds names written in the sand on a deserted island...the names of people who then died in freak accidents. In Morality, King looks at how a marriage and two lives fall apart after the wife and husband enter into what seems, at first, a devil's pact they can win.
