If It Bleeds by Stephen King

  Containing the novellas Mr. Harrigan's Phone , The Life of Chuck , If It Bleeds , and Rat .   Of the four novellas in this collection, my favorites are If It Bleeds and Mr. Harrigan's Phone . In Mr. Harrigan's Phone , we're told " A reader is a carrier, not a creator ," which is true-- and I've been carrying around an appreciation of Holly Gibney ever since reading Mr. Mercedes , so it was a pleasure to see her in action once again.  Mr. Harrigan's Phone is a spooky little number that made me smile, and if you like finding out how an author gets his ideas for the stories he writes, don't miss the Afterward.  All in all, If It Bleeds is an enjoyable ramble through the mind of Stephen King.
