Stephen King's Never Flinch is one of the most exciting horror books coming out in 2025, and it should lean into the best element of his 2024 release, You Like It Darker. While some of You Like It Darker's stories are stronger than others, the 2024 collection is one of the best additions to King's lineup in recent years. In part, this is because the book feels like a return to form for the author, capitalizing on themes that defined King's most iconic novels and stories from earlier in his career.

The success of You Like It Darker puts pressure on Never Flinch, even though King's 2025 book is a very different publication. Another addition to his Holly Gibney universe, Never Flinch will see its characters investigating a killer — and it's unclear if there will be any supernatural elements to speak of. It's also a larger, more contained work than You Like It Darker,...

Eli Roth in Borderlands. Photo Credit: Katalin Vermes The Borderlands video game series is finally making its way to the big screen, and the excitement is palpable. While we’ve had some successes with video game adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, let’s face it, there have also been some disappointments. This is where Eli Roth steps in – known for his work in the horror genre – not just as the director of Borderlands but also as someone determined to create an exhilarating and hilarious cinematic experience. Roth is genuinely enthusiastic about this project, and it shows. His goal is to capture that sci-fi charm that resonates with all of us – envision a blend of Robocop and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Rest assured, he’s not just mimicking those films; he’s infusing his creative flair to make this adaptation truly remarkable. (Click...

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Stephen King's "Two Talented Bastids" from You Like It Darker and The Tommyknockers.

The alien encounters in "Two Talented Bastids" offer a sweet, life-affirming take on artistic inspiration, unlike The Tommyknockers. King's dark and grim 1987 novel contrasts with the lighter tones of You Like It Darker's opening story, "Two Talented Bastids." Both stories center on artists unlocking their potential through alien encounters, but differ in tone and outcome.

Although You Like It Darkers first novella is reminiscent of a classic Stephen King novel, viewers should be warned that the earlier book has a nastier twist. Stephen King has written many books, including some of the most influential short story collections in contemporary American horror literature. His most recent collection, 2024s You Like It Darker, sees the writer revisit some of his own work by including a sequel to his 1981 novel Cujo. King also...

You Like It Darker features compelling stories with one standout novella that leaves intriguing questions. "The Dreamers" novella from King's collection is disturbing, mysterious, and lacks answers. "The Dreamers" would benefit from a follow-up that can explore its potential as a unique and terrifying world.

Stephen Kings You Like It Darker offers some interesting short stories, but theres one that needs a follow-up after all the questions it left. The King of Horror continues sharing his unique world of scares, monsters (human and supernatural), supernatural events, and more, and among his latest publications is You Like It Darker. The book is a collection of seven short stories and five novellas, all of them with different settings, characters, and themes, and some scarier than others.

You Like It Darker was announced in late 2023 and published in May 2024, and, unsurprisingly, it has been a hit with readers and fans of Stephen King.

Chris Evans played the role of Steve Rogers a.k.a Captain America in the MCU. For almost a decade, the actor entertained fans with his unrelenting optimism and good-old heroism in films such as Captain America: The First Avengers, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. The actor departed from the role after the end of his character arc in Endgame.

While fans want Evans to return to his role for the upcoming Avengers 5, the actor seems to be done with the character for a while. However, he did not rule out the possibility of returning to the MCU as a whole, as he expressed his desire to play Johnny Storm again. The actor had previously played the role in Fox’s Fantastic Four, which starred Jessica Alba.

The next book we’ll be seeing from Stephen King is Holly, which is set to reach store shelves on September 5th (you can pre-order a copy Here) and centers on the Holly Gibney character that King has previously written about in the Mr. Mercedes trilogy, The Outsider, and the If It Bleeds story contained in the short story collection of the same name. Now, during an interview with the Talking Scared podcast, King has revealed three more projects that he’s working on or thinking about working on: another short story collection, another Holly Gibney story, and possibly a third book in the Talisman series he started with the late Peter Straub.

King told Talking Scared (with thanks to The Guardian for the transcription) that the short story collection is called You Like It Darker and is expected to be published sometime in 2024. The book has a page count...
