"Compelling.... Brilliantly creepy."-- USA Today

Includes the story “The Man in the Black Suit”—set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, the iconic, spine-tingling story collection that includes winners of an O. Henry Prize and other awards, and “Riding the Bullet,” which attracted over half a million online readers and became the most famous short story of the decade, as well as stories first published in The New Yorker, “1408,” made into a movie starring John Cusack.

“Riding the Bullet” 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 “brilliantly creepy” (USA TODAY) 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.

-Autopsy Room Four

-The Man in the Black Suit

-All That You Love Will Be Carried Away

-The Death of Jack Hamilton

-In the Deathroom

斯蒂芬·金，1947年出生于美国缅因州波特兰市，后在缅因州州立大学学习英国文学，毕业后因工资菲薄而走上写作之路。自1973年出版首部长篇小说《魔女嘉莉》后，迄今已著有40多部长篇小说和两百多部短篇小说。其作品是近年来美国畅销书排行榜上的常客，还被翻译成30多种语言。有超过百部影视作品取材自他的小说。他因此被誉为“现代惊悚小说大师”。1999年，斯蒂芬·金遭遇严重车祸，侥幸大难不死。在康复后，他又立刻投入写作。2003年，他获得美国国家图书基金会颁发的“杰出贡献奖”。其后又先后获得世界奇幻文学奖“终身成就奖”和美国推理作家协会“爱伦·坡奖”的“大师奖”。在斯蒂芬·金的众多作品中，以历时30余年才终于完成的奇幻巨著“黑暗塔”系列（共七卷）颇为壮观，也很受金迷推崇，书里的人物与情节，散见于斯蒂芬·金的其他小说中，堪称他极重要的作品。近年来的新作有短篇集《日落之后》，中篇集《暗夜无望》和长篇小说《11/22/63》《穹顶之下》《长眠医生》等。目前斯蒂芬·金与妻子居住于缅因州。

In 2003, he was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, and in 2007 he received the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America.
