![]() ![]() ![]() The strangest novella, and perhaps the least coherent, is also the most beautiful, in its curious way. King marries an obvious affection for the tropes of old gumshoe movies with carefully researched forensic technology to create an odd hybrid of procedural and horror that ratchets up the suspense, even if it feels a little familiar to readers of The Outsider, or the trilogy of Bill Hodges novels in which Holly first appeared. A little background research suggests that Ondowsky’s being first on the scene at incidents of horrific carnage is no coincidence, and Holly wonders if the reporter might be deliberately causing atrocities. ![]() Private investigator Holly Gibney is watching breaking news coverage of a bomb attack at a middle school when she notices something odd about the reporter, Chet Ondowsky. The title comes from the callous (but accurate) newsroom axiom “if it bleeds, it leads”. The showpiece here is the title novella, a sequel of sorts to King’s 2018 novel The Outsider, which was shown as a 10-part HBO series at the beginning of this year. If It Bleeds brings together four new stories, all offering vintage King themes with their own particular twist. ![]() S tephen King has made good use of the sometimes tricky novella form over his nearly 50-year career, often as a vehicle to explore ideas and styles that lie off the more familiar path of his horror novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() "It’s scary to write about a place that’s not your own," she said in a phone interview from her home on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. ![]() The 27-year-old author admitted to being nervous about her upcoming reading in Honolulu on Saturday. In April, HarperCollins published Wong’s first novel, "Diamond Head," which the author hopes will appeal to Hawaii tastes. "It was a little adjusted for mainland tastes," Wong said, noting that the most popular order remains teriyaki chicken, mac salad and banana bread. When she was 7 years old, her family moved from Honolulu to Eugene, Ore., where her parents, Kono and Susan Wong, opened a Hawaii-style plate-lunch restaurant called the HodgePodge. Cecily Wong might not know her way around Oahu all that well, but she does know from local food. ![]() ![]() ![]() January Scaller, a young ward of an unfathomably wealthy benefactor, travels the world with him as her father serves as his employee. The novel takes place at the beginning of the 20th century. I’ll give a brief summary of the plot the less information you know going in, the better. It is an exquisitely written and painstakingly built journey about the power of love, the value of stories, and the enduring influence of words. ![]() ![]() ![]() The 10,000 Doors of January by Alix Harrow, a brilliant and enduring debut novel, beautifully and vividly depicts this experience of discovering oneself via the stories we exchange. Instead, they were first made known to me through books and stories when I was a young child, and they have remained with me ever since. Although I haven’t read a lot of portal fantasy, I’ve always had a sense of suffocated repression that has stifled my desire to explore. There are enough similarities that can be found that it nearly seems as though the book were written with your existence in mind.
