Stephen King

News people have a saying: 'If it bleeds, it leads'. And a bomb at Albert Macready Middle School is guaranteed to lead any bulletin. Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is working on the case of a missing dog -- and on her own need to be more assertive -- when she sees the footage on TV. But when she tunes in again, to the late-night report, she realises there is something not quite right about the correspondent who was first on the scene. So begins 'If It Bleeds', a stand-alone sequel to The Outsider featuring the incomparable Holly on her first solo case -- and also the riveting title story in Stephen King's brilliant new collection. Dancing alongside are three more wonderful long stories -- 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', 'The Life of Chuck' and 'Rat'. All four display the richness of King's storytelling with grace, humour, horror and breathtaking suspense. An Author's Note gives us an insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination
