Everything’s Eventual brings together fourteen Stephen King stories that move through supernatural horror, psychological terror, dark fantasy, crime, and the unsettling possibilities hidden inside ordinary life.
The collection includes a skeptical writer’s encounter with the terrifying Room 1408, a college student’s disturbing journey home to visit his ill mother in “Riding the Bullet,” and a yard-sale painting that becomes increasingly threatening in “The Road Virus Heads North.” Other stories explore everything from violent encounters and brushes with death to strange powers and events that refuse to follow the rules of reality.
The collection also includes “The Little Sisters of Eluria,” a story connected to King’s Dark Tower universe. With each story standing largely on its own, Everything’s Eventual offers a broad look at King’s shorter fiction and the many different forms his horror can take.
