Summary
The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller featuring a stand-alone sequel to The Outsider as well as the novella 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', soon to be a Netflix original film.
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 No. 1 bestselling 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 from this 'formidably versatile author' (The Sunday Times) - '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. A fascinating Author's Note gives us a wonderful insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination.

The Master!
I'm a big Stephen King fan but I usually prefer his novels to the short story collections but this was simply perfect!
All for stories were excellent!

Really great.
It's a collection of short stories each one brilliantly done. The scariest one for me was 'if it bleeds', very creepy and very well written, keeping the reader at the edge of their seat.

A worthwhile read
Highly anticipated, because the follow-up to the outsider is included. I would recommend you read the Bill Hodge’s trilogy and the outsider first - in that order - but not essential. My verdict is that it’s very good, and I didn’t want to put it down. In reality when I look back at each story, they’re quite simple and not obviously great from any synopsis. However the way SK writers them makes each very good. The characters are fab. The second story I’ll need to listen to again, so to help you it’s 3 linked stories, in reverse order. Rat reminds me of Jack Torrance at the overhang hotel, you’ll get what I mean. If it needs itself is a worthy follow-up. A neat story with your favourite characters returning. So a very good book

Great
Really enjoyed this collection. I thought the performances would distract but they actually enhanced. Stick with them.

Always a great journey
Another collection of short stories to take you on a journey and provoke a little thought. I enjoyed them all immensely and I feel there’s a long way left to go with Holly and Finders Keepers.

Compelling stories from the king
I loved each of the stories especially the one featuring Holly Gibney one of my all time favourite characters.
