'I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger...' writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting murder confession that makes up '1922', the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerising tales from Stephen King, linked by the theme of retribution.

In 'Big Driver', a cozy-mystery writer plots revenge after a terrifying encounter with a stranger; in the darkly amusing 'Fair Extension', Harry Streeter makes a deal with a man selling all sorts of extensions - including life extensions; and 'A Good Marriage' asks the question: is it possible to fully know anyone, even those we love the most? What would you do if you were to discover your husband had a horrifying secret? What if the man who keeps his nails short and clean isn't the man you think he is? And now he's coming home...

With a fascinating afterword in which Stephen King describes the inspiration behind each story, King's Full Dark, No Stars contains close-up portraits which bristle with intensity. Like Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight - which generated such enduring hit films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me - Full Dark, No Stars proves Stephen King is a master of the long story form.
