Description
Now a major motion picture, Stephen King's brilliant and terrifying story of a marriage with truly deadly secrets.
Darcy Anderson’s husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his routine business trips when the unsuspecting Darcy looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a hidden box under a worktable and in it she discovers a trove of horrific evidence that her husband is two men—one, the benign father of her children, the other, a raging rapist and murderer. It’s a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends “A Good Marriage.”
This story was originally published in Stephen King’s acclaimed collection, Full Dark, No Stars.

Huh
1By SK1169If what people are saying about this is true, I do think they should get a refund. I personally haven’t read this yet, but will probably get the larger collection of stories instead.A Good Marriage
5By LattesmithA good Stephen King Book!Awesome short book
5By cuddle kids mecariExcellentWonderful
5By bryfry060606Another fantastic story by Stephen king. Keeps you on your toes without being cryptic. Fantastic short read.Good!
1By S71!Good quick read!Worst Book
1By Matt9959horrible. would give 0 stars if possible. steven kings worst book by far. huge disappointment.Don’t buy this “book”
1By ki91690I thought this was a novel, did not realize it is two short stories. They are poorly written, I don’t think S. King had anything to do with these.Short and sweet
4By BlanefsrThis book wasn't bad. It was no where near Kings best, but it got the job done. I felt like king had more story to tell, but suppressed his imagination for some odd reason. The story attached "1922" was by far a better story. Again not Kings best or close to it, but still read worthy.Great Short Story!
4By nwheeler46I read this when it was originally published and it's an awesome quick read. For those of you complaining, it does state that this was previously in a collection of short stories. Stephen King is the king of short stories.Poorly written and unimaginative
1By weiner dog1This story seemed like Stephen King was busy but needed to get a story to the publisher and threw this one together. Most of the story is told and not shown, which is a boring technique. Don't waste your money on this one.A good read
5By Butterfly blue 13I had not read a Stephen King book in a while, but glad I pick this one, it was a good book, kept you on the edge of my seat.I like short stories...
1By rosamindy...which is why I buy the original collections. I hate being bamboozled into buying them a second time. I guess next time I'll research before I purchase, and not just jump when my favorite author's name is waggled under my nose.Good Marriage to short
1By IGA-UVAI thought this book would be more about the Good Marriage, which I enjoyed. 1922 not so much.A Good Marriage - Stephen King
1By notthisssuckerI do hope that Stephen King didn't have a part in this deceptive presentation of two unrelated short stories as a new novel. This was very confusing, and I wish I had not spent the money.Buyer Beware!
1By bluesman 007All Apple would have to do is insert a simple note that this IS NOT a new work by King...... But noooooooooo - that did not happen and many unsuspecting King fans - after starting the book - now feel ripped off - and they have been. Hey Stevo - you should pull out your fat check book and reimburse all who fell for this cheap marketing ploy!I should have read the reviews...
4By GiGi2LinkEven though this is a pretty good read, I have purchased this in hardback LONG ago. This is kinda deceptive.Great story!
5By ChandalandThe other reviewers calling this a scam obviously didn't bother to read the description. It clearly states this story was originally part of the short story collection "Full Dark No Stars" It isn't Mr King's fault they are unhappy, it's their own. The story is a great "what if". What if your husband, your lover and life time partner was really a killer? What would you do? I highly recommend it.Good Marriage
4By Gma6417I always read a sample and realized it was from an earlier book Mr. King had written. Didn't fall for the outright decieving way the new Publisher made it out to be a new book. There is another author in this venue DK that has been doing it for at least 10 years. I to have read every book he's written for around 36 years. Surprises me that he's now doing this. Very disappointed!A good marriage
1By golf4birdsOuch. I also got sucked in. What the hell is wrong with this picture??!!! Shame on mr. King. I am one oh his flock that buys everything and this is the first time I feel ripped off....
