Everything'S Eventual : 14 Dark Tales
By Stephen KingIncludes the story "The Man in the Black Suit"--set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine A collection of 14 dark tales, 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 ebook, which attracted over half a million online readers and became the most famous short story of the decade.
Two of the stories, "The Little Sisters of Eluria" and "Everything's Eventual" are closely related to the Dark Tower series. 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 Cafe, a sparring couple's contentious lunch turns very, very bloody when the maitre 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.

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 com-pelling, they announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.
