&lsquo;You like it darker? Fine, so do I&rsquo; writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of stories that delve into the darker part of life &ndash; both metaphorical and literal. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys and mysteries; each feels iconic. In &lsquo;Danny Coughlin&rsquo;s Bad Dream&rsquo;, a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny&rsquo;s most catastrophically. &lsquo;Rattlesnakes&rsquo;, a sequel to Cujo, sees a grieving widower travel to Florida for respite and instead receive an unexpected inheritance &ndash; with major strings attached. &lsquo;The Answer Man&rsquo; asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful. King writes to feel &lsquo;the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind&rsquo; and his ability to surprise, amaze and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. You like it darker? You got it.
