Different Seasons
Stephen King 1982
Synopsis
Different Seasons is a collection of four Stephen King novellas with a more dramatic bend, rather than the horror fiction for which King is famous. The four novellas are tied together via subtitles that relate to each of the four seasons. --the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo. --a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism. --four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods and in sunlight and thunder find life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. --a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what. : : : : :
