generous collection of thrilling stories - some brand new, some
published in magazines, all entirely brilliant and assembled in one book
for the first time - with a wonderful bonus: in addition to his
introduction to the whole collection, King gives readers a fascinating
introduction to each story with autobiographical comments on their
origins and motivation...
The No. 1 bestselling writer has
dazzled readers with his genius as a writer of novellas and short story
fiction since his first collection NIGHT SHIFT was published. He
describes the nature of the form in his introduction to the book:
'There's something to be said for a shorter, more intense experience. It
can be invigorating, sometimes even shocking, like...a beautiful curio
for sale laid out on a cheap blanket at a street bazaar.'
In THE
BAZAAR OF BAD DREAMS there is a curio for every reader - a man who keeps
reliving the same life, repeating the same mistakes over and over
again, a columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries, a
poignant tale about the end of the human race and a firework competition
between neighbours which reaches an explosive climax. There are also
intriguing connections between the stories; themes of morality, guilt,
the afterlife and what we would do differently if we could see into the
future or correct the mistakes of the past.
