Different Seasons
About this work
Different Seasons (1982) is a collection of four Stephen King novellas with a more dramatic bend, rather than the horror fiction for which King is famous. The four novellas are tied together via subtitles that relate to each of the four seasons. Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (opens in a new tab)--the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo. Apt Pupil (opens in a new tab)--a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism. The Body (opens in a new tab)--four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods and in sunlight and thunder find life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. The Breathing Method (opens in a new tab)--a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what. (source (opens in a new tab))
