Available for the first time in a beautiful standalone edition in June. Originally featured in the acclaimed story collection If It Bleeds this unforgettable 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 Chuck's life seems to be approaching its end. Told in three acts presented in reverse order The Life of Chuck explores one man's past.

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 life's 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. King's ability to describe pure joy rivals his ability to terrify us. Winner of the Toronto International Film Festival People's Choice Award The Life of Chuck is 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.
