There Will Be Blood

Stephen King is a writer who loves traditions. One of the most beautiful and revered traditions by millions of his fans is the publication of collections, invariably consisting of four novellas. Thus, we are all well acquainted with the books Four Seasons, Four After Midnight, and The Dark Half, and nothing more. This time, Stephen King presents readers with just such a collection, where each work immerses us in its unique and mysterious atmosphere. In the title novella There Will Be Blood, the beloved heroine of The Outsider and the Mr. Mercedes trilogy, Holly Gibney, after a terrible explosion at school, realizes that there are other monsters in the world, like the outsider, but this time she has to face Evil one-on-one. Mr. Harrigan's Phone is a touching story of friendship between a boy and an elderly millionaire. In the novella Chuck's Life, the Master reflects on the significance of human life. The final story, The Rat, tells of a deal made between a writer and a rather unusual creature.
