Winner of the 2020 Audio Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement AwardIncludes the story Premium Harmonyset in the fictional town of Castle Rock, MaineThe masterful #1 New York Times bestselling story collection from O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King that includes twentyone iconic stories with accompanying autobiographical comments on when, why and how he came to write (or rewrite) each one.For more than thirtyfive years, Stephen King has dazzled readers with his genius as a writer of short fiction. In this new collection he introduces each story with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it.As Entertainment Weekly said about this collection: Bazaar of Bad Dreams isbursting 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.There are thrilling connections between stories; themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. In Afterlife, a man who died of colon cancer keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. Several stories feature characters at the end of life, revisiting their crimes and misdemeanors. Others address what happens when someone discovers that he has supernatural powersthe columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries in Obits; the old judge in The Dune who, as a boy, canoed to a deserted island and saw names written in the sand, 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 devils pact they can win.I made these stories especially for you, says King. Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth.Stories include:Mile 81Premium HarmonyBatman and Robin Have an AltercationThe DuneBad Little KidA DeathThe Bone ChurchMoralityAfterlifeUrHerman Wouk Is Still AliveUnder the WeatherBlockade BillyMister YummyTommyThe Little Green God of AgonyCookie JarThat Bus Is Another WorldObitsDrunken FireworksSummer Thunder
