Summary
About the author

An iconic, spine-tingling story collection from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King.

“Everything’s Eventual” features Dinky Earnshaw—a nineteen-year-old pizza delivery boy— who gets hired by a mysterious stranger for a unique and totally “eventual” (awesome) job.

“Autopsy Room Four:” The last thing Howard Cottrell remembers is entering the woods to find his golf ball. He wakes up as he is being rolled into an autopsy room.

In “The Little Sisters of Eluria” Roland is a gunslinger in a deserted town when he gets ambushed.

In “Luckey Quarter” Darlene is a single mom struggling to raise two kids on her income as a chambermaid in Reno. When Room 322 leaves her a quarter for a tip. Darlene lets that quarter take her for a ride.

“The Road Virus Heads North” tracks an author who buys a creepy painting at a yard sale which was painted by a metal-head neighbor just before he committed suicide.

Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, these five stories announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the greatest storyteller of our time.
