If It Bleeds by Stephen King 3.5 stars (subdue)

[Rachel N.]

This is a collection of four novellas. Mr. harrigan's phone involves someone using an iphone to reach out from the grave. I didn't find this story particularly scary though I liked the main character. The Life of Chuck has three parts. the first part was interesting but the other two I was underwhelmed by. The longest story and the main focus is the title story If It Bleeds. It features Holly Gibney chasing a man who may be able to change his appearances who might have bombed a school. The story gives away the main plot of the Mr. Mercedes trilogy and The Outsider so I wouldn't read this book until you have read those four books. Rat involves a writer staying at a cabin who might finally be able to write a book with the help of a rat.This story was classic King. So overall two stories I was not wowed by and two stories I liked.
