Reviews"Every time Stephen King writes another book, I worry. Has he gone to the horror well too often? Will it be as good as It or Dolores Claiborne or Doctor Sleep or any of his 50-plus other titles? Luckily, his scary ideas continue to flow unfettered from his mind to the pages, most recently in The Outsider. ..masterful." --Amanda St. Amand, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Praise for The Outsider: "A juicy tale that plays at the forefront of our current phobias... [ The Outsider] will remind readers of King's early novel It." -- Kirkus Reviews, "There's plenty of shadowy, wormy supernatural goings-on in Stephen King's new novel The Outsider . Yet the most unsettling stuff -- that which will leave you uncomfortable when you sit and devour this first-rate read -- probes the monstrous side of human nature." --Brian Truitt, USA Today, " The Outsider is, in many ways, an ideal combination of classic King supernatural terror and his more contemporary foray into crime writing, wedding an intricately plotted whodunit with a monster tale that has more than a few shades of It ...one of King's strongest books in the past decade; an enjoyable dovetailing of crime and supernatural horror that will please Constant Readers and newcomers alike." --Emily Burnham, The Bangor Daily News, "Absolutely riveting. . . another shockingly dark book--perfect for longtime fans, of whom there are, well, zillions." -- Booklist, "King appears to be on a hot streak, that he extends with The Outsider . Big, complex and inventive, it's a well-honed continuation of his interest in the intersection of crime and horror fiction, demonstrating his consummate skill with both." --Michael Berry, The Portland Press Herald, "King's genius is to temper his forays into the dark side of life with a sense of wonder about the world." --AARP, "[A] fascinating mystery that challenges fans of detective yarns to be on top of their game." -- The Minneapolis Star Tribune, "As classic as [King's] novels are, his shorter fiction has been just as gripping over the years...The true highlight of the collection is the phenomenal 'The Life of Chuck'...Just when you think things are getting really weird, it all snaps together like an epiphany and you get to the gorgeous meat of the matter...Sure, King still owns the fright business like none other, but the iconic author will keep you up late at night engrossed in four tales about our dreams and our frailties." --Brian Truitt, USA Today "IF IT BLEEDS contains four new, exceptionally compelling novellas that reaffirm [King's] mastery of the form ...the mid-length narrative suits his talents particularly well, permitting a degree of expansiveness while maintaining a controlled, disciplined approach to the material at hand. The results are stories that cover a surprising amount of emotional territory but can still be read in a sitting...a collection filled with startling, sometimes unsettling pleasures. In IF IT BLEEDS, King continues to draw from a rich and varied reservoir of stories. At its best, his work remains deeply empathetic and compulsively readable. May the reservoir never run dry. " --William Sheehan, The Washington Post "[These stories] -- about the seductions and corruptions of technology, the extremes of beauty and depravity in even the most ordinary life, the workings of a universe we can never entirely understand -- were somehow exactly what I wanted to read right now... 'The Life of Chuck' is one of the oddest, most affecting stories I have read in a very long time...As sirens blare outside my Brooklyn window and the headlines grow more apocalyptic by the day, I might start working my way through King's backlist. He's good company in the dark." --Ruth Franklin, The New York Times Book Review " King's four new novellas might be bite-sized, but they still shine with his brilliant ability to tingle our spines...King's genius is to temper his forays into the dark side of life with a sense of wonder about the world." --AARP "Suspenseful and chilling...This set of novellas is thought-provoking, terrifying, and, at times, outright charming, showcasing King's breadth as a master storyteller...a powerful addition to his megapopular oeuvre ." -- Booklist , STARRED review "The four never-before-published novellas in this collection represent horror master King at his finest , using the weird and uncanny to riff on mortality, the price of creativity, and the unpredictable consequences of material attachments...profoundly moving... King clearly loves his characters, and the care with which he develops their personalities draws the reader ineluctably into their deeply unsettling experiences. This excellent collection delivers exactly the kind of bravura storytelling King's readers expect ." -- Publishers Weekly , STARRED review "The master returns." -- Kirkus Reviews , STARRED review, "Here's to mutant rats in the basement and Mexican myths; here's to the strange and to Stephen King. Still inspiring." --Victor LaValle, New York Times Book Review, "A well-researched, finely tuned crime-cum-legal case novel forms a good chunk of the book...it's a genuinely intriguing mystery... the novel visits some very odd places - and I mean that as a compliment...[King] has always understood that the mystery - the question - is scarier than finding out the truth... The Outsider gives King fans exactly what they want at the same time as cramming in new ideas, proving the least surprising thing of all: that his novels are as strong as they ever were." --The Guardian, "How could a man so beloved and respected, a man the whole community has trusted with their children, commit such an unthinkable crime? It can't be true. It must be true. That's the situation Stephen King sets up with blazing intensity in the first chapter of his new novel ... The Outsider is proof King isn't losing his touch: It's a first-rate example of his signature technique of combining solidly realistic writing and believable characters with disturbingly creepy horror...a horrifying ride that challenges its characters not to succumb to their own darkness." --Colette Bancroft, The Tampa Bay Tribune, "What begins as a manhunt for an unlikely doppelgänger takes an uncanny turn into the supernatural. King's skillful use of criminal forensics helps to ground his tale in a believable clinical reality where the horrors stand out in sharp relief." -- Publishers Weekly, " The Outsider is yet another outstanding offering from Stephen King, a darkly engaging ride of a read that demonstrates once again that despite a decades-spanning career, he's still performing at the height of his powers." -- The Maine Edge, "King is arguably as much an American icon as the '68 Fastback or a classic red and white Plymouth Fury. All of these glories are on full display in his latest mystery-horror hybrid ... you're in for one hell of a ride." --Karin Slaughter, The Washington Post

SynopsisFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author, legendary storyteller, and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new and compelling novellas-- Mr. Harrigan's Phone , The Life of Chuck , Rat , and the title story If It Bleeds --each pulling you into intriguing and frightening places. The novella is a form King has returned to over and over again in the course of his amazing career, and many have been made into iconic films, including "The Body" ( Stand By Me ) and "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" ( Shawshank Redemption ). Like Four Past Midnight , Different Seasons , and most recently Full Dark, No Stars , If It Bleeds is a uniquely satisfying collection of longer short fiction by an incomparably gifted writer., *#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* Featuring the novella "The Life of Chuck," now a feature film adapted for the screen and directed by Mike Flanagan ( The Fall of the House of Usher , Doctor Sleep ) and starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Karen Gillan--a Toronto International Film Festival People's Choice Award winner! From the legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new "exceptionally compelling novellas that reaffirm [King's] mastery of the form" ( The Washington Post ). Readers adore Stephen King's novels, and his novellas are their own dark treat, briefer but just as impactful and enduring as his longer fiction. Many of his novellas have been made into iconic films, including "The Body" ( Stand by Me ) and "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" ( Shawshank Redemption ). The four brilliant tales in If It Bleeds prove as iconic as their predecessors. In the title story, reader favorite Holly Gibney (from the Mr. Mercedes trilogy and The Outsider ) must face her fears, and possibly another outsider--this time on her own. In "Mr. Harrigan's Phone" an intergenerational friendship has a disturbing afterlife. "The Life of Chuck" explores, beautifully, how each of us contains multitudes. And in "Rat," a struggling writer must contend with the darker side of ambition. If these novellas show King's range, they also prove that certain themes endure. One of King's great concerns is evil, and in If It Bleeds , there's plenty of it. There is also evil's opposite, which in King's fiction often manifests as friendship. Holly is reminded that friendship is not only life-affirming but can be life-saving. Young Craig befriends Mr. Harrigan, and the sweetness of this late-in-life connection is its own reward. "An adroit vehicle to showcase the...nature of evil" ( The Boston Globe ), If It Bleeds is "exactly what I wanted to read right now," says Ruth Franklin in The New York Times Book Review .
