An extract from Stephen King’s short story DRUNKEN FIREWORKS, part of his generous, thrilling new collection of stories, featuring revelatory autobiographical comments on when, why and how he came to write each story.
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.
In DRUNKEN FIREWORKS, previously published as an audio-only short story, a salt-of-the-earth Maine native recounts how a friendly annual summer fireworks show rivalry with his neighbour across the lake gradually spirals out of control...with explosive results.
THE BAZAAR OF BAD DREAMS will be available in hardback, eBook and audiobook on 3rd November.
