What Has Been Announced:

Stephen King has announced that this collection, YOU LIKE IT DARKER, will be "mostly new stories – long stories, for the most part," and he adds that the hardcover will be a substantial tome of over 600 pages. He described a Lovecraftian tale that will be included called "The Dreamers" – which will feature characters accessing a reality that exists beyond dreams that is "apocalyptic," "dark," and "sentient".

I'm curious about whether or not this collection will feature the first publication of "Rattlesnakes," which has been described as a sequel to Cujo.

Stephen King first described "Rattlesnakes" on a podcast in May 2022, and while he didn't give everything about it away, he mentioned that there will be a "terrible scene" where a pair of four-year-old twins fall into a rattlesnake pit. Precisely how it will connect to the1981 classic about a St. Bernard who goes on a rabid-induced rampage is unknown, but I'm sure all of us Constant Readers are dying to find out. Knowing King, the new story may be more of a spiritual sequel to Cujo, or it could have deep ties and let readers catch up with the lives of Donna and Vic Trenton in the years after the tragic death of their son (for those of you who have only ever seen the movie, the book's ending is a whole lot darker).
