Book Summary
A collection of fourteen dark tales, Everything’s
Eventual includes one O. Henry Prize winner, two other
award winners, four stories published by The New
Yorker, and “Riding the Bullet,” King’s original ebook,
which attracted over half a million online readers and
became the most famous short story of the decade.
Two
of the stories, “The Little Sisters of Eluria” and
“Everything’s Eventual” are closely related to the Dark
Tower series. “Riding the Bullet,” is the story of Alan
Parker, who’s hitchhiking to see his dying mother but takes
the wrong ride, farther than he ever intended. In “Lunch at
the Gotham Café,” a sparring couple’s contentious lunch
turns very, very bloody when the maître d’ gets out of
sorts. “1408,” the audio story in print for the first time,
is about a successful writer whose specialty is “Ten Nights
in Ten Haunted Graveyards” or “Ten Nights in Ten Haunted
Houses,” and though Room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel doesn’t
kill him, he won’t be writing about ghosts anymore.

in the Black Suit

Whether writing about encounters with the dead, the near
dead, or about the mundane dreads of life, from quitting
smoking to yard sales, Stephen King is at the top of his
form in the fourteen dark tales assembled in Everything’s
Eventual. Intense, eerie, and instantly compelling, they
announce the stunningly fertile imagination of perhaps the
greatest storyteller of our time.
