A couple waiting for the train discovers the truth about their situation. A woman running from her troubles must run to save her life. An overweight man enters a new reality with the help of a stationary bike. A black-and-white cat delivers a special kind of justice. Two neighbors try to settle a score in a very unconventional way. As the sun sets and night begins, the protagonists in Just After Sunset will have to face their fears—no matter which form their fears choose to take.
In Just After Sunset, Stephen King draws from the mundane experiences of his characters to explore what it means to be afraid. To some, fear is born out of an imminent threat; to others, it is something that cannot be expressed in words, a feeling or nagging belief that nothing will ever be the same. This collection of short stories is a great introduction to King's style and substance, and it shows why he has earned the reputation of one of the best horror writers of our times.
