If It Bleeds

De: Stephen King

Narrado por: Will Patton, Danny Burstein, Steven Weber

News people have a saying: 'If it bleeds, it leads'. And a bomb at Albert Macready Middle School is guaranteed to lead any bulletin.

Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is working on the case of a missing dog - and on her own need to be more assertive - when she sees the footage on TV. But when she tunes in again, to the late-night report, she realises there is something not quite right about the correspondent who was first on the scene. So begins 'If It Bleeds', a stand-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestselling THE OUTSIDER featuring the incomparable Holly on her first solo case - and also the riveting title story in Stephen King's brilliant new collection.

Dancing alongside are three more wonderful long stories from this 'formidably versatile author' (The Sunday Times) - 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', 'The Life of Chuck' and 'Rat'. All four display the richness of King's storytelling with grace, humour, horror and breathtaking suspense. A fascinating Author's Note gives us a wonderful insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination.

I will live and die a Holly fan

Loved the stories, and for the first two the narrators were brilliant. The narration for Holly was strange. The cadence and pitch were odd and made her sound a little like a child robot hybrid.

If it bleeds

Brilliant work from Stephen king once again. I’m glad he has now shared where he gets the desired drive and from whom. Signed : R.A.T

Mostly Great

Very enjoyable stories! The only thing is Will Patton's narration. It's mostly fine but I hate, and have always hated, his narration of Holly Gibney. Like why does he make her talk in such a weird cadence? Very off-putting.
Anyway, The Life of Chuck is especially great.

Great little book(s)

Loved the first one, could see this being creepier branching into something else later. Enjoyed hearing another adventure with Holly.
Thankyou Mr King :)

Loved Mr Harrigans phone

Disliked Rat intensely so didn't listen to the last hour but sped it up to listen to author's note at the end
