What to expect
News people have a saying: 'If it bleeds, it leads'. And a bomb at Albert Macready Middle School is guaranteed to lead any bulletin.
Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is working on the case of a missing dog - and on her own need to be more assertive - when she sees the footage on TV. But when she tunes in again, to the late-night report, she realises there is something not quite right about the correspondent who was first on the scene. So begins 'If It Bleeds', a stand-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestselling THE OUTSIDER featuring the incomparable Holly on her first solo case - and also the riveting title story in Stephen King's brilliant new collection.
Dancing alongside are three more wonderful long stories from this 'formidably versatile author' (The Sunday Times) - 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', 'The Life of Chuck' and 'Rat'. All four display the richness of King's storytelling with grace, humour, horror and breathtaking suspense. A fascinating Author's Note gives us a wonderful insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination.

Critics Review
-
Full of vividly drawn characters and unsettling themes, If It Bleeds is another tour de force by a master storyteller
Daily Express -
Such glimpses into King’s own mind are riveting and satisfyingly terrifying. Read the book for this
Evening Standard -
The horror writer is at his familiar best with four suspenseful and sometimes surprisingly tender novellas… If It Bleeds brings together four new stories, all offering vintage King themes with their own particular twist… King, as always, is right on the money
Observer -
The titular novella is…an impeccably judged whodunnit…the other three [are] readable, engaging studies of male lives at different stages
The Sunday Times -
You may wonder if the great yarn spinner of the supernatural possesses psychic abilities of his own because this collection of short stories is so timely… Spine-chillingly brilliant
The People -
You’ll fly through IF IT BLEEDS
Daily Telegraph
