Whatever Wednesday - Say What? Yikes!


 "You like  it  darker? Fine. So do I," writes Stephen King in the afterword to this twelve story collection.

You Like  it  Darker by Stephen King is a masterclass in writing, in delving into lives - fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything  can happen.  (cover blurb)

It's the creepy stuff, secrets, psychic flash, good luck, bad luck, unbearable  tragedy and more. 

He writes such believable dialogue. It's like you are listening in on a real conversation.  He touches on just  the right quirks that make a character unique. 

Sometimes, a short story is just the right  amount to read in a day.  King  offers the right amount of snack size sizzle that will have you turning  on  the lights and looking over your shoulder. 

Wait...did you hear that?

Um...did you see that?
