by Stephen King His first collection in six years, King delivers his strongest, most broadly appealing stories ever. 'Gingerbread Girl,' published in Esquire in July 2007 (unprecedented in number of magazine pages devoted to it), is set, like Duma Key, in Florida. It is a riveting, fabulously dramatic stalker tale featuring a young woman as vulnerable - and resourceful - as Audrey Hepburn's character in 'Wait Until Dark.' 'Willa' published in Playboy, blurs the lines between living and the dead. 'Ayana,' one of the most beautifully written and haunting stories, was published in The Paris Review. |
