KING, Stephen. Just After Sunset. New York: Scribner, (2008). Octavo, original half black cloth, original dust jacket, custom slipcase. $1800.

First edition of Stephen King's fifth collection of short stories, signed by him on the title page.

"Just After Sunset—call it dusk, call it twilight, it's a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It's the perfect time for Stephen King" (from the dust jacket). This collection—inspired by King's experience editing the 2007 volume of The Best American Short Stories—includes the previously unpublished novella N. Program for Stephen King talk and book signing laid in, noting that this book was made available for the event a few days prior to the official release date.

A fine signed copy, in a striking custom slipcase.
