Just After Sunset

fullDescription

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

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: This collection of short stories includes a few written early in the horror meister's career, some of which have been published previously on audio. Among the standouts are "Stationary Bike," performed by Ron McLarty, whose affinity for King's works also shines in "A Very Tight Place." Jill Eikenberry's delivery of "Graduation Afternoon" and "The New York Times at Special Discount Rates" suffers from her lisp, which proves distracting in an audio-only performance. The full-cast production of "N." draws the listener into its creepy manifestation of what happens to trespassers who persist after multiple warnings. King himself takes on "Harvey's Dream," delighting listeners with his laid-back tone and Maine accent. If the offerings in this compilation are any indication, we hope King continues with more short story collections. R.L.L. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

     Starred review from September 1, 2008
     In the introduction to his first collection of short fiction since Everything's Eventual
     (2002), King credits editing Best American Short Stories
     (2007) with reigniting his interest in the short form and inducing some of this volume's contents. Most of these 13 tales show him at the top of his game, molding the themes and set pieces of horror and suspense fiction into richly nuanced blends of fantasy and psychological realism. “The Things They Left Behind,” a powerful study of survivor guilt, is one of several supernatural disaster stories that evoke the horrors of 9/11. Like the crime thrillers “The Gingerbread Girl” and “A Very Tight Place,” both of which feature protagonists struggling with apparently insuperable threats to life, it is laced with moving ruminations on mortality that King attributes to his own well-publicized near-death experience. Even the smattering of genre-oriented works shows King trying out provocative new vehicles for his trademark thrills, notably “N.,” a creepy character study of an obsessive-compulsive that subtly blossoms into a tale of cosmic terror in the tradition of Arthur Machen and H.P. Lovecraft. Culled almost entirely from leading mainstream periodicals, these stories are a testament to the literary merits of the well-told macabre tale.

     December 22, 2008
     King’s latest anthology reminds readers that while his many works contains supernatural elements, his true skill as a writer lies in his ability to tap into the minds of his characters and, more importantly, his readers. The story topics are scattered, but most have that signature King style that blurs the line between fiction and reality. His most effective story, “N,” is a tale about obsession and compulsion that will make even the mellowest listeners a bit paranoid. Part of the beauty of this tale is the use of multiple narrators for different points of view. Using a different narrator for each story works well. (Ron McLarty’s Stationary Bike
     and Mare Winningham’s The Gingerbread Girl
     were previously produced and released as solo efforts.) King reads the introduction, one story and the end notes about each story. While not necessarily of the same caliber as his co-narrators (including Jill Eikenberry, Holter Graham, George Guidall, Denis O’Hare and Karen Ziemba), his ability as a narrator has improved significantly over the years. A Scribner hardcover (Reviews, Sept. 1).
