Stephen King, who has shown extraordinary passion for novellas such as "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," "Stand by Me," "1922," and "The Mist," has published a new collection of novellas titled "Where the Blood Flows" by Golden Bough.
Includes four novellas by Stephen King, who showcases his high-quality writing that crosses genres, including "Where the Blood Flows," the sequel to his best-selling "The Outsider."
In particular, "Chuck's Life," which unfolds the life of a man in three acts, fully captures Stephen King's charm, which is not limited by format or genre.
"Mr. Harrigan's Phone," which is set in a coffin with a corpse and involves a text message from a cell phone, and "Rat," which is about a man who dreams of success as a writer and is faced with a strange choice, are the epitome of Stephen King's horror short stories.
"Where the Blood Flows" is a light novel that takes up about half of the book, and is an occult thriller starring Holly Gibney, who has emerged as a new heroine in Stephen King's works since "Mr. Mercedes."
In the summer of 2020, "Where the Blood Flows" was first published in the United States, and rose to the number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list. The rights to all of the included works were sold directly to Netflix, Ben Stiller, and Darren Aronofsky, creating a buzz.


"The basic foundation of this work has been in my head for at least 10 years.
It all started when I started noticing that certain TV news reporters were always on the scene of terrible tragedies like plane crashes, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, and celebrity deaths.
Their reports always made headlines in local and national news.
In that industry, there is no one who does not know the saying, “Where there is blood, there is a scoop.” - From “Author’s Note”

"The idea resonated in my mind as a child, when my imagination was overflowing.
"The setting is that the phone rings in the graveyard." - From the author's note
