Stephen Kings The Life of Chuck,is a phenomenal (USA TODAY) tale of life and legacynow a feature film directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Karen Gillanavailable for the first time in a beautiful stand-aloneedition with a new introduction by Stephen King and a design surprise.

Originally featured in the acclaimed story collectionIf It Bleeds,thisunforgettable, mind-bending tale unfolds in reverse, taking readers through the extraordinary life of Charles Chuck Krantz.

In a crumbling world plagued by natural disasters, collapsing infrastructure, and mass panic, bizarre billboards and advertisements appear throughout town: Charles Krantz. Thirty-nine great years. Thanks, Chuck! Marty Anderson, a schoolteacher, becomes obsessed with these messages as the world, inexplicably linked to Chucks life, seems to be approaching its end.

Told in three acts, presented in reverse order,The Life of Chuckexplores one mans past. We see him in middle age on a business trip in Boston as he is seduced by a busker into spinning a gorgeous sidewalk dance. And we see him as a child, in a house haunted by a terrible secret, learning to dance with his grandmother. In these pages King reminds us that lifes quotidian pleasures are even more glorious because they are fleeting: the outrageous good fortune of a beautiful blue day after a string of gray ones; the delight of dancing when every move feels perfect; a serendipitous meeting. Kings ability to describe pure joy rivals his ability to terrify us.

Now a major motion picture and winner of the Toronto International Film Festival Peoples Choice Award,The Life of Chuckis a glorious story about community and about humanity at its best, a celebration of joy, mystery, existential wonder, and the multitudes contained in all of us.
