The first collection of stories Stephen King has published since Nightmares & Dreamscapes nine years ago, Everything's Eventual includes one O. Henry Prize winner, two other award winners, four stories published by The New Yorker, and "Riding the Bullet," King's original e-book, which attracted over half a million online readers and became the most famous short story of the decade.
"Riding the Bullet," published here on paper for the first time, is the story of Alan Parker, who's hitchhiking to see his dying mother but takes the wrong ride, farther than he ever intended. In "Lunch at the Gotham Café," a sparring couple's contentious lunch turns very, very bloody when the maître d' gets out of sorts. "1408," the audio story in print for the first time, is about a successful writer whose specialty is "Ten Nights in Ten Haunted Graveyards" or "Ten Nights in Ten Haunted Houses," and though Room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel doesn't kill him, he won't be writing about ghosts anymore. And in "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is In French," terror is déjà vu at 16,000 feet.
Whether writing about encounters with the dead, the near dead, or about the mundane dreads of life, from quitting smoking to yard sales, Stephen King is at the top of his form in the fourteen dark tales assembled in Everything's Eventual. Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, they announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.

A fun collection of tales by The Master of Horror.
Not as good as Night Shift, but I enjoyed it.

Happy Reading in 2022!

Oh, Book_drunkard! Thank you! It's here! It was in with my HGG gifts, and I'm only JUST opening them today! Thank you so much for sending this along! And since I actually started reading it last year, it can count towards my REDUCE MOUNT TBR challenge for this year! (Link) Can't wait to get to it! Thank you again!

Jan 24, 2022: Started (well, RESUMED) reading this, and looking forward to keeping it traveling!

Jan 29, 2022: Finished! Wow. Stephen King still makes the hair on my arms and at the back of my neck stand on end! I especially love his vision of Hell as living the same particular memory over and over. It just so happens to be set in the town I live in. Eerie. Set aside to participate in a VBB.

Received this RABK in the mail addressed to my OBCZ NC State Univ. Book Box. However, NC State removed the book box several years ago so I will release this book to the Deco Free Book Drop in Raleigh NC in the coming week. https://www.bookcrossing.com/hunt/1/36/19695/811410?

I am buying books from the outside shelves at The Readers Corner (a Raleigh used book store) and releasing them. This is one of those books. If you like it, take it and write a journal entry at www.BookCrossing.com - its easy and anonymous. Then when you are done with it, find a nice person or place to release it. I look forward to reading your thoughts on this book and finding out where you got it from. This book is on an adventure we can share with it.
