In The Shawshank Redemption, a man convicted of bloody murder lives in a prison brutally ruled by a sadistic warden and secretly run by a con who knows all the ropes and pulls all the strings. He has more brains than anyone else in this sinister slammer, and a diabolically cunning plan of revenge that no one can guess until it's far too late.
And brace yourself for icy shock in three more stunning novellas of suspense. Four young boys come face to face with life, death, and hints of their own mortality...a teenager becomes both the puppet and the puppet master of evil...a disgraced woman is determined to triumph over death. The greatest horror master of our time turns the screws of suspense to lock you into 'terrifying tension and nerve-tingling twists.

Work Description
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--the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo.
Apt Pupil--a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism.
The Body--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--a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what.
