Description
"A master storyteller at his best--the O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King delivers a generous collection of stories, several of them brand-new, featuring revelatory autobiographical comments on when, why, and how he came to write (or rewrite) each story. Since his first collection, Nightshift, published thirty-five years ago, Stephen King has dazzled readers with his genius as a writer of short fiction. In this new collection he assembles, for the first time, recent stories that have never show more been published in a book. He introduces each with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it. There are thrilling connections between stories; themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. "Afterlife" is about a man who died of colon cancer and keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. Several stories feature characters at the end of life, revisiting their crimes and misdemeanors. Other stories address what happens when someone discovers that he has supernatural powers--the columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries in "Obits;" the old judge in "The Dune" who, as a boy, canoed to a deserted island and saw names written in the sand, the names of people who then died in freak accidents. In "Morality," King looks at how a marriage and two lives fall apart after the wife and husband enter into what seems, at first, a devil's pact they can win. Magnificent, eerie, utterly compelling, these stories comprise one of King's finest gifts to his constant reader--"I made them especially for you," says King. "Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth.""-- "From a master of the short story, a collection that includes stories never before in print, never published in America, never collected and brand new- with the magnificent bones of interstitial autobiographical comments on when, why and how Stephen King came to write each story"-- show lessTags

I don't know which I liked more about this book, the stories, or King's stories behind the stories. As both a fan of King and a writer of horror myself, this lifting of the curtain provided a fascinating glimpse into the mind of the most popular writer of our generation. In fact, in some ways, I almost consider this a semi-sequel to [b:On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft|10569|On Writing A Memoir of the Craft|Stephen King|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1436735207s/10569.jpg|150292].
But the stories...ah, the stories. A couple left me cold (Bad Little Kid, Afterlife), as is to be expected in any collection. Some I'd read previously, (Ur, Blockade Billy, Morality, Mile 81, etc.). But then, some absolutely hit the bull's eye for me. Batman and show more Robin Have an Altercation, Mr. Yummy, That Bus Is Another World, Obits.
And then there were two that just knocked it out of the park for me, and these are the ones that reignited the feeling I had as an early teen, digging into those first Stephen King novels and having my mind blown. The first was Herman Wouk Is Still Alive, an absolutely heartbreaking tale of the people that America tends to forget, or pretend don't exist, and the very last story, Summer Thunder, a very quiet--and very disquieting--tale of the end of the world. This last one took me back to Night Shift's Night Surf.
I love King's novels, and often, the longer the better. But it's collections like these that remind me of what a master of the short story and novella he really is.
Damn, I love this guy's writing. show less

First of all, and most importantly, if you don't yet know, this collection contains a story loosely connected to [The Dark Tower] series. The new entry into the vastly interconnected world is called Ur, and it's one of the best in the collection. Get this book for that reason alone. But if you need more incentive, every story is preceded by a lengthy note from Uncle Stevie on the concepts or origin of the story. That kind of stuff is a hook for us Constant Readers. The only negative thing to say - Uncle Stevie is not a poet, except for that one ditty he penned for [It], maybe. The shorts are worth coming for alone - but there's so much more to sink your teeth into here, if you can before the stories sink their teeth into you.
I've long been a fan of King's short stories, so I looked forward to this work, but it ended up being a fairly middle-of-the-road read for me. Some of the stories were outstanding--just what I expect from King--but others felt over-written or simply boring, and I often found myself wondering if King had taken every story not-yet-collected in a book and thrown it into this one, whether the story was ready and past its first-draft stage or not. I'm glad this wasn't the first King collection I've read or, to be honest, it would probably be my last.
Also, a side note to readers who struggle with stories depicting animal death/loss: The last story in this collection is a tough one. It kept me up well past my bedtime, I was so disturbed by it, show more good as it may be in an objective sense. I'd suggest skipping it.
All told, though, this isn't the first King book I'd recommend, by any means. It's not my least favorite of what I've read by him...but it's certainly my least favorite of his collections, and perhaps the only time I've found myself bored by something written by King. show less

The worst story collection of his I've read. So many complete misfires including the infamous Kindle shilling story, which you might hope just mentions it incidentally, but instead has a continuing spiel about the features, the cheap titles, the colour availability, genuinely disgusting level of hawking going on. Which the man defends as "paying the bills". Contrast with the several stories featuring some version of "evil rich people are out of touch and disgusting" - from one of the best selling authors of all time? That's you, man. You're the out of touch rich people, in denial.
This collection is aptly titled - a lot of the stories end in gruesome and bitter ways. In recent years, King's style has long since changed from the rural characterizations of his 1970s early work to a more grand guignol approach. Some will like that, and I can enjoy it in small doses. The most positive aspect of King's short stories are the tight, controlled, on-point writing within the confined space. Personally, I think his longer novels could stand some more aggressive editing. His short stories - especially this collection - seem to have gone through a round or two of outside influence.and I think that helped a lot. In a story like "Herman Wouk is Still Alive," the bitter ending needs to get wrapped up with a punch, and that show more happens here. I think that impact would have been lost in an extra 10 pages, for instance (I also read this story in its original magazine appearance, and something about it being in a book gives the narrative more weight...I was not as unsettled by the ending in the magazine, as I was here. Strange...).
"A Death," I think will appeal to King's longest-running fans. It's the story that captures the rural-speak "Night Shift" vibe the closest. "That Bus is Another World" is close to the grim view a lot of the stories in "Skeleton Crew" had - it's not supernatural, not even horrible in a direct, specific, "it's happening to me" way - it's the 'distance' from the horror that makes it terrible. If that makes sense.. "Mile 81" is sort of like "Mrs Todd's Shortcut," except not so benign.
Very few of the stories are straight-up supernatural. Ultimately, it's four stars for me because of that. I loved "Night Shift," for example, because of the supernatural/horror elements of the stories. They weren't "real." This collection IS real - these events, mostly, COULD happen. And frankly, that took some of the fun away for me - which isn't to say I don't appreciate the writing. As Stephen King has gotten older he's much more attracted by the grimness of what's right in front of him, rather than fictional tales of zombies or vampires. We see that not just in these stories, but his new "Finder's Keepers" trilogy, which is mostly a real-world setting, with a little supernatural influence. That same vibe is through most of these stories.
But I like ghost stories where I don't have to think that world doesn't actually exist. I like horror of creatures beyond my imagination that might not actually show up to murder me (I really liked "Revival," which WAS old-school horror)...and these stories by King are a world that could/does/will exist - and that IS a very true bazaar of bad dreams! show less

There is a lovely story that the author tells towards the end of this excellent collection when he is approached by a lady in a supermarket who declares: You're Stephen King. You write those scary stories." SK would dispute this..."Yes I like horror stories. I also love mysteries, tales of suspense, sea stories, straight literary novels, and poetry." The point about this and what I love about King as an author is he is simply a story teller. All of us from little children over many many hundreds of years have thrilled to the "story" and no one tells it better than Stephen King.
The author has the ability to remove me from the mundane to a spellbinding world full of exciting adventures full of characterization, joy, sadness as he analyzes show more this life we live. Apart from one exception (Blockade Billy; a tale about baseball which did not ring true for me as a UK resident) all the stories encompass a range of subject; some are excellent and a few outstanding. Of particular note; "Batman and Robin Have an Altercation" Sanderson visits his father twice a week at the Harvest Hills Special Care Unit where he suffers from Alzheimer's often taking him to lunch. On this particular occasion a road rage incident occurs with a most unexpected and brilliant conclusion which I did not see coming and made me laugh smile and weep (well almost weep) in equal order. "Afterlife" reflects on the question we all ponder at some time in our short existence...what if anything comes after? This is an interesting, fun and thoughtful read and really asking if we could would we live our life again...and how would we live that life? "Drunken Fireworks" is perhaps my favourite which surprises me as it is not "scary" in any sense but comical in its content and execution. This illustrates beautifully that a good story can be about any subject or situation but if it has the ability to immerse, enthral, and consume you then it must be read. Alden and his mum live in a cabin on Lake Abenaki. On the opposite side of the lake live The Massimos and every Fourth of July an "arms race" occurs where each party tries to outdo the other in their fireworks display. The ending may not surprise but getting there is a fun adventure....
Most people who read for enjoyment have at some time or other slipped into the delicious fun and exciting world of Stephen King. He has been a constant companion to me from a teenager and still has the ability to enthral and excite me with his innovative writing and soulful observations....."God knows everyone in this place has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, but there's no way you can know for sure" Highly Recommended. show less

I have long believed that Stephen King’s short stories and novellas, taken as a group, are even more powerful and more memorable than the author’s more famous novels. King’s new story collection, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, makes me more certain than ever that this is the case. A few of the twenty stories in the collection were familiar to me because they (or some version of them) have been previously published. But as King says in his (very short) Author’s Note, “…that doesn’t mean they were done then, or even that they’re done now. Until a writer either retires or dies, the work is not finished; it can always use another polish and a few more revisions.”
As it turns out, two of my favorites from The Bazaar of Bad Dreams show more are stories I remembered reading before - and not coincidentally, they involve two of my favorite things: baseball and reading. The first, “Ur,” is a story about the Kindle from Hell. This little pink e-reader literally opens up whole new worlds to anyone who dares read from it, worlds in which authors whose careers were tragically cut short by early death manage to live long lives and produce books never dreamed of in the reader’s own world. Who would not love to discover a dozen never-read books from their favorite authors from the past? But this is a Stephen King story, so there’s a catch…as usual.
“Blockade Billy” tells of a no-name baseball catcher one major league team has to turn to when it loses its last regular catcher on the final day of Spring Training. This kid is so unknown that no one even knows what he looks like – only that he is somewhere in Podunk, Nebraska, and that he is both available and expendable. When the kid starts to tear up the league (both as a hitter and as a physical threat to the opposition), one of the team’s coaches notices that something is not quite right with the kid. That’s an understatement, Coach.
And then there’s “Drunken Fireworks,” the story about two families who every Fourth of July for several years produce competing fireworks displays from the opposite sides of a narrow lake. The problem is that year after year, the wealthy family from out-of-town easily outshines the efforts of the poor family on the town side of the lake. The battle escalates every year, but the results are always the same – until Alden McCausland finds a Canadian fireworks supplier with Chinese connections. Then it’s “welcome to the show.”
The Bazaar of Bad Dreams has something for every kind of Stephen King fan. There are traditional monster-filled horror stories, more serious looks at human nature, one of the saddest dystopian stories imaginable, and even a poem or two. There are no stinkers in this collection, and I suspect that each of the twenty offerings is going to be someone’s favorite. show less

Author Information
Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine, on September 21, 1947. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, he became a teacher. His spare time was spent writing short stories and novels. King's first novel would never have been published if not for his wife. She removed the first few show more chapters from the garbage after King had thrown them away in frustration. Three months later, he received a $2,500 advance from Doubleday Publishing for the book that went on to sell a modest 13,000 hardcover copies. That book, Carrie, was about a girl with telekinetic powers who is tormented by bullies at school. She uses her power, in turn, to torment and eventually destroy her mean-spirited classmates. When United Artists released the film version in 1976, it was a critical and commercial success. The paperback version of the book, released after the movie, went on to sell more than two-and-a-half million copies. Many of King's other horror novels have been adapted into movies, including The Shining, Firestarter, Pet Semetary, Cujo, Misery, The Stand, and The Tommyknockers. Under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, King has written the books The Running Man, The Regulators, Thinner, The Long Walk, Roadwork, Rage, and It. He is number 2 on the Hollywood Reporter's '25 Most Powerful Authors' 2016 list. King is one of the world's most successful writers, with more than 100 million copies of his works in print. Many of his books have been translated into foreign languages, and he writes new books at a rate of about one per year. In 2003, he received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. In 2012 his title, The Wind Through the Keyhole made The New York Times Best Seller List. King's title's Mr. Mercedes and Revival made The New York Times Best Seller List in 2014. He won the Edgar Allan Poe Award in 2015 for Best Novel with Mr. Mercedes. King's title Finders Keepers made the New York Times bestseller list in 2015. Sleeping Beauties is his latest 2017 New York Times bestseller. (Bowker Author Biography) Stephen King is the author of more than thirty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. Among his most recent are "Hearts in Atlantis", "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon", "Bag of Bones", & "The Green Mile". "On Writing" is his first book of nonfiction since "Danse Macabre", published in 1981. He served as a judge for Prize Stories: The Best of 1999, The O. Henry Awards. He lives in Bangor, Maine with his wife, novelist Tabitha King. King's book, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams: Stories, made the 2015 New York Times bestseller list. (Publisher Provided) show less
