"Afterlife" is about a man who died of colon cancer and keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. 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. He introduces each with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it. In this new collection he assembles twenty stories, some of which have never appeared in print. Since his first collection, Night Shift, was published thirty-five years ago, Stephen King has dazzled audiences with his genius as a writer of short fiction. A master storyteller at his best-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.
