Drace (dracenines) | 7367 comments There are errors to clean up with Just After Sunset by Stephen King.

1. US Hardcover: Just After Sunset (ISBN 9781416584087)

- The publisher is incorrect. According to the title page, it should just be Scribner.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:

Stephen King – who has written more than fifty books, dozens of number one New York Times bestsellers, and many unforgettable movies – delivers an astonishing collection of short stories, his first since Everything’s Eventual six years ago. As guest editor of the bestselling Best American Short Stories 2007, King spent over a year reading hundreds of stories. His renewed passion for the form is evident on every page of Just After Sunset. The stories in this collection have appeared in The New Yorker, Playboy, McSweeney’s, The Paris Review, Esquire, and other publications.

Who but Stephen King would turn a Port-O-San into a slimy birth canal, or a roadside honky-tonk into a place for endless love? A book salesman with a grievance might pick up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well. Or an exercise routine on a stationary bicycle, begun to reduce bad cholesterol, might take its rider on a captivating – and then terrifying – journey. Set on a remote key in Florida, “The Gingerbread Girl” is a riveting tale featuring a young woman as vulnerable – and resourceful – as Audrey Hepburn’s character in Wait Until Dark. In “Ayana,” a blind girl works a miracle with a kiss and the touch of her hand. For King, the line between the living and the dead is often blurry, and the seams that hold our reality intact might tear apart at any moment. In one of the longer stories here, “N.,” which recently broke new ground when it was adapted as a graphic digital entertainment, a psychiatric patient’s irrational thinking might create an apocalyptic threat in the Maine countryside . . . or keep the world from falling victim to it.

Just After Sunset – call it dusk, call it twilight, it’s a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, 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 Stephen King.

DESCRIPTION:

King's brand new fiction title: a captivating collection of tales with dark - and light - twists from the master of this wonderful form.
What would you do if your everyday world were turned upside down in an instant? Here are 12 riveting stories about relationships with unexpected twists. Be very careful what you wish for.

Read about the acts of kindness from strangers: workmen who intervene in the obsessive exercise regime of a middle-aged artist in "Stationary Bike"; the unexpected visitor, a blind girl, whose kiss saves a dying man; a mute hitchhiker who helps a driver get over his wife's affair.

There are tales of obsession and fights for power: "The Gingerbread Girl" runs and runs to ease her pain; two neighbours contesting for a piece of land get into "A Very Tight Place" and a man who witnesses an act of domestic violence in a "Rest Stop" needs to step into his identity as a crime writer if he's to intervene.

Then there are the unexpected outside events which turn people's worlds upside down or the right way up: a young couple, David and Willa who are derailed on a train find themselves seeking the bright lights in a nearby town and playing the jukebox, for eternity; an older couple want to punctuate the banal humdrum with something unusual - until it happens.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the back cover:

Following Duma Key and Lisey’s Story, Stephen King delivers a stunning collection of short stories. In many of the stories, the line between the living and the dead is blurred. A husband calls his widowed wife; a couple at a roadside tavern can get together nowhere else; the kiss of a young blind girl brings the dying back to life. And in “N,” never before published, there is a circle of stone in a field up a road. The No Trespassing sign should be obeyed, especially just after sunset. Subtle, haunting, sometimes outright terrifying – an astonishing collection from a master storyteller.
