Just After Sunset by Stephen King
Just After Sunset: Stories
Also available as Just After Sunset: Stories (Collectors Set)
Synopsis
In his first collection in six years, Stephen King delivers his strongest, most broadly appealing stories ever. “Gingerbread Girl,†published in Esquire in July 2007 (unprecedented in number of magazine pages devoted to it), is set, like Duma Key, in Florida. It is a riveting, fabulously dramatic stalker tale featuring a young woman as vulnerable—and resourceful—as Audrey Hepburn’s character in “Wait Until Dark.†“Willa†published in Playboy, blurs the lines between living and the dead. “Ayana,†one of the most beautifully written and haunting stories, was published in The Paris Review. From the subtle and disturbing to the outright terrifying, these tales will thrill every known King fan and win new ones.

The Fastest Way to Write Your Book by Dave Haslett – Review
about 4 months ago - No comments
This is an amazing book that in just four months enabled me to complete a novel I have been agonizing over for six years, write two eco guidebooks from scratch, and spend a lot more time with my family instead of writing all the time. Not only that but I have already found a publisher for both guidebooks, and two New York agents have asked to see my novel. Amazing!

The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, Book 1) by Stephen King You ever find that you like a book more and more the longer you think about it? I didn’t overly love The Gunslinger (1982) [US] [UK] when I finished it, but the more I keep thinking about it, the more I really like what King

The Passage by Justin Cronin – Review
about 6 months ago - No comments
The Passage by Justin Cronin The atmosphere has more the entertainment thriller vibe of Stephen King’s THE STAND than the bleak, literary vibe of Cormac McCarthy’s THE ROAD. And while it falls squarely into the post-apocalyptic genre, I loved that there were a couple of limited-reach dystopian societies thrown in for good measure. The central

Hater by David Moody – Review
about 6 months ago - No comments
Hater by David Moody Without warning, ordinary people suddenly turn into violent lunatics, attacking strangers, friends, and even family members. No one knows the cause, and no one can predict who will be afflicted next. A major city is effectively shut down as people cower behind locked doors, fearful of their spouses and children. Finally
Under the Dome by Stephen King – Review
about 6 months ago - No comments
Under the Dome by Stephen King Let me point out, before continuing, that I am apologetically a fan of Stephen King. Even so, Under the Dome more clearly shows King’s age and small town peculiarities as a fault rather than a gift to the storytelling. Outdated slang, references to culture and technology that are recent

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan A young woman living in the middle of a zombie-infested forest begins to suspect that her village’s government has been lying to the people. Argh, my friends. Just… argh. The only thing I hate more than writing a negative review for a book whose author is
