Reddit reviews Different Seasons (Signet)

They are all national bestsellers. Everyone should read On Writing, as it is very barebones and no BS when it comes to getting into writing. In fact, it's inspiring in almost any endeavor one wishes to pursue. Highly recommend it.


As far as his fiction, I'm partial to his Different Seasons collection which includes Shawshank Redemption, Apt Pupil and The Body (of which the movie version is Stand By Me).

One of King's best books. It has the short story that was Shawshank, and Stand By Me.

Different Seasons by Stephen King. Page for Page, these are some of the best short stories to all appear together in a single book. It is a collection of 4 Novellas, one for each season. 3 of these stories have been turned into major screenplays: Stand By Me, Shawshank Redemption, and Apt Pupil.

In this case, don't forget Stephen King's Different Seasons, a collection of four excellent novellas.

No. It was 96 pages. This was probably the longest short story I've ever read.
