The Man in the Black Suit: 4 Dark Tales

By Stephen King

Book Overview

Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine

An intense, eerie, and instantly compelling collection of unabridged stories from Stephen King

"The face of the man in the black suit grows ever clearer, ever closer, and I remember every word he said. I don't want to think of him, but I can't help it, and sometimes at night my old heart beats so hard and so fast I think it will tear itself right clear of my chest."

A haunting recollection of a mysterious boyhood event, The Man in Black Suit read by John Cullum, leads off this masterful collection from Stephen King.

Other dark tales include: All That You Love Will Be Carried Away read by Peter Gerety, in which a man checks into a Lincoln, Nebraska Motel 6 to find meaning in his life; That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French read by Becky Ann Baker presents the ultimate case of d j vu; and The Death of Jack Hamilton read by Arliss Howard--a blistering tale of Depression-era outlaws on the run.

Whether about encounters with the dead, the near dead, or about the mundane drudgery of life--Stephen King's The Man In The Black Suit: Four Dark Tales is not to be missed.

Customer Reviews

Great Collection of Stories from "Everything's Eventual."

"The Man in the Back Suit" is a compilation of stories plucked from "Everything's Eventual." It is a good choice of stories, a quick read, and has a good variety of different themes. The one that stood out most to me is "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French," which has similar themes which are featured in King's later story "Willa." It is an interesting collection, and if you're unfamiliar with it, I'd recommend giving it a try.
