Now, as then, these tales show how a skilled storyteller with a good tale to tell can make unsettling fiction compulsively readable. As in Different Seasons (1982), King takes a mostly nonfantastic approach to grim themes. "A Good Marriage" explores the aftermath of a wife's discovery of her milquetoast husband's sinister secret life, while "Fair Extension," the book's most disturbing story, follows the relationship between a man and the best friend on whom he preternaturally shifts all his bad luck and misfortune.

"Big Driver" tells of an otherwise ordinary woman who discovers her extraordinary capacity for retribution after she is raped and left for dead. In "1922," a farmer murders his wife to retain the family land she hopes to sell, then watches his life unravel hideously as the consequences of the killing suggest a near-supernatural revenge. Eerie twists of fate drive the four longish stories in King's first collection since Just After Sunset (2008).
