Just After Sunset : Stories

2010 Audie Award Finalist for Short Stories/Collections

Thirteen “dazzling” (Associated Press) and “wonderfully wicked” (USA TODAY) stories from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King.

A book salesman with a grievance picks up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well. An exercise routine on a stationary bicycle takes its rider on a captivating—and then terrifying—journey. A blind girl works a miracle with a kiss and the touch of her hand. A psychiatric patient’s irrational thinking might create an apocalyptic threat in the Maine countryside…or keep the world from falling victim to it.

These are just some of the tales to be found in the #1 bestselling collection Just After Sunset. Call it dusk or call it twilight, it’s a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It’s the perfect time for master storyteller Stephen King.

Stories include:

-Willa

-The Gingerbread Girl

-Harvey's Dream

-Rest Stop

-Stationary Bike

-The Things They Left Behind

-Graduation Afternoon

-N.

-The Cat from Hell

-The New York Times at Special Bargain Rates

-Mute

-Ayana

-A Very Tight Place
