In Just After Sunset, Stephen King's first short story collection since 2002's Everything's Eventual, the author delivers an astonishing lineup of stories, many of which appeared in The New Yorker, Playboy, McSweeney's, The Paris Review, and Esquire among others, along with the previously unpublished story "N." As guest editor of the bestselling Best American Short Stories 2007, King spent over a year reading hundreds of stories, and his renewed passion for the form is evident on every page of Just After Sunset.
Just After Sunset is also be available in a limited-edition collector's set which will include a DVD with all 25 video episodes of his story "N." which has been brought to life in a graphic digital entertainment adaptation and will feature an introduction from King. A trailer for the video episodes, and a special "Behind the Scenes" segment complete the DVD package available only in this special edition of the book.
"I started to imagine a little dead girl standing on that road--twin dead girls, with their hands linked. The image came from nowhere... it came around dusk, which is a spooky time of day anywhere, but particularly on the coast of Florida." --Stephen King
The quote above is from a video message from Stephen King talking about an image that had been lurking in his head for years... one that eventually found a home in his gripping new novel, Duma Key. In an exclusive essay for Amazon.com, King's longtime editor Chuck Verrill offers a side-by-side comparison of "Memory," a King story that appeared in the summer 2006 issue of Tin House, and the first chapter of Duma Key, the book it eventually grew into.
