About this ebook

The chilling novella featured in Stephen King’s New York Times bestselling collection Full Dark, No Stars, 1922 is about a man who succumbs to the violence within—setting in motion a grisly train of murder and madness.

Wilfred James owns eighty acres of farmland in Nebraska that have been in his family for generations. His wife, Arlette, owns an adjoining one hundred acres. She wants to sell her land but if she does, Wilfred will be forced to sell as well. James will do anything to hold onto his farm, and he'll get his son to go along.

Betrayal, murder, madness, rats, 1922 is a breathtaking exploration into the dark side of human nature from the great American storyteller Stephen King.

Ratings and reviews

I understand that when he talks about sense of humor, you take it with an aligned mind, don't take it as sarcasm or anything like that, it's a way to describe the husband who had a perfect life, daughter. perfect woman, they believed it all, because she was an example with the fico written by him to such a shock que quedaras impresionado ,el padre que con el hijo mata a la mujer y las otras dios - La confusion de la policía de casa ,y quién se come solo ,solo le recuerda una frace ,yo nunca ingiero nada que destrose mi intelecto confianza en mí o sentido común .gracias
