Description
By (author) Stephen King
:
The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller featuring the story ”The Life of Chuck”, adapted for film by Mike Flanagan, starring Tom Hiddleston and winner of the People”s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival.
News people have a saying:
”If it bleeds, it leads”.
Following a horrific explosion at a school, Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency notices something suspicious about the TV reporter who is first on the scene. In this riveting title story, Holly sets out to discover what he is hiding in her first solo crime case.
Dancing alongside this stand-alone sequel to The Outsider are three more irresistible long stories: ”Mr Harrigan”s Phone” sees young Craig introduce a curmudgeonly retired businessman to the wonders of the smartphone; ”The Life of Chuck” is a three act life-story – told in reverse order – about a man whose face appears on a billboard; and ”Rat” sees a struggling author head to a remote cabin in the woods of North Maine, where a deal-making rodent offers him a life-changing pact.

The horror writer is
at his familiar best with four
suspenseful and sometimes surprisingly
tender novellas… If It Bleeds brings together four new stories, all
offering vintage King themes with their own particular twist… King, as always, is right on the money
