Full Dark, No Stars
368 Pages
Full Dark, No Stars is a brutal quartet of novellas about what ordinary people do when pushed to the edge…and what waits for them on the other side. These are stories about revenge, guilt, buried secrets, and the dark places we all carry inside.
From a man who learns his wife’s deepest betrayal and acts accordingly, to a woman who uncovers a horrifying truth beneath her cornfield, to a writer haunted by something more than regret, each tale strips away comfort and decency to show what’s left underneath.
These aren't ghost stories. They're human stories. And that’s what makes them terrifying.
1922: A farmer confesses to murdering his wife, and everything that followed.
Big Driver: A mystery writer’s shortcut turns into a violent nightmare, and a path to vengeance.
Fair Extension: A man makes a devil’s bargain that wrecks someone else’s life instead of his.
A Good Marriage: A woman discovers the man she married isn’t who she thought he was.
