NAMED A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW TOP 10 HORROR BOOK OF 2024
WINNER OF THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR HORROR
FINALIST FOR THE 2025 LOCUS AWARDS

“Stephen King knows You Like It Darker and obliges with sensational new tales” (USA TODAY): From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King, an extraordinary collection of stories that are “a master class in tension and full of King’s dark humor” (The New York Times Book Review)now with a bonus story, “The Music Room.”

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to listen to. King writes to feel “the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,” and in You like It Darker, listeners will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.

“Two Talented Bastids” explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In “Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream,” a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In “Rattlesnakes,” a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance—with major strings attached. In “The Dreamers,” a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. “The Answer Man” asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.

“King’s skills as a storyteller remain undimmed” (The Minnesota Star Tribune) and his ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace is unsurpassed. “The titular darkness promised is as riveting and all-consuming as ever” (New York magazine). You like it darker? You got it.

Editorial Review

Pace yourself
Did you know that May is International Short Story Month? And what better way to enjoy it than having the king of horror himself, Stephen King, release a new anthology of dark and disturbing tales. You Like It Darker features 12 short stories, some new and some fan favourites, just in time to add frightful flair to my list of short stories to binge this month. As a long-standing fan of Stephen King, I was really excited to catch the mentions of popular characters like Cujo and well-established multiverse locations like Castle Rock and Derry, Maine. You Like It Darker is one of King’s longer anthologies, so take your time. You have the whole month of May to finish! —Nicole R., Audible Editor

I love all things Stephen King.

By far my most favorite chapter was Rattlesnakes. I loved the whole supernatural aspect to it and the tie in with Cujo, which was another favorite of mine.

Highly recommend it for all his constant readers.

Fantastic

Uninspired. Uninteresting. He's not writing for us anymore. I can't say that anything was intriguing.

The narrator. Stories were uninteresting

I am a Stephen King fan but never in my wildest dreams did I expect this collection to be so brilliant.

This will be re-read often. Thank you SK and the narration was brilliant too

Simply Brilliant

Stephen King has an incredible talent to make the most common scenarios creepy or how to make characters endearing. This is definitely worth the listen.

Excellent Narration of Gripping Stories

I adore Stephen King, have since Carrie came out, I am a Constant reader. Most books I own are his and I listen to many over and over. His recent work I also love- Billy Summers, The Institute, and Fairy Tale are 3 favs. One because of a dog named Radar. :)

That said, I'm almost done this audiobook and am wondering where's the darkness here? Full Dark, No stars- was pretty dark, and I loved it. This one is quite enjoyable but not so dark at all. In fact... Joe Hill sounds more like Old King, than Old King does!
He's mellowed like wine perhaps. I'm not interested in getting jump scared at my age particularly either, so the mellowing happened on both our parts.
SO happy that my favourite narrator Will Patton, does most of the narrating. He makes any book shine.
I may change my review after listening to the last 6 hours.
Actually, I have. Rattlersnake(s) with it's tie to Duma Key- absolutely great story.
Lori (Laurie?) because dog- I loved. And two Talented Bastids,

I'd like it darker!
