  • While I love King's horror, his straight fiction short stories and novellas show what a truly gifted writer he is. This book contains to of my all-time favorite novellas--"The Body" and "Rita Heyworth and the Shawshank Redemtion"--both turned into two of the best ever King movies.

  • When I used to read King, this was my favorite book. Then the movies came.

A collection of four novellas by the bestselling master, three of which became the basis for the hit films Stand by Me, The Shawshank Redemption, and Apt Pupil. So varied in tone that "you have to compare King to Twain, Poe-with a generous dash of Philip Roth and Will Rogers thrown in." -Los Angeles Times
