From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary new collection of twelve short stories, many never-before-published, and some of his best EVER.“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel “the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,” and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again. “Two Talented Bastids” explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In “Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream,” a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In “Rattlesnakes,” a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance—with major strings attached. In “The Dreamers,” a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. “The Answer Man” asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.

'There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.' Hannah Gadsby, NanetteHannah Gadsby's unique stand-up special Nanette was a viral success that left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her ability to create both tension and laughter in a single moment. But while her worldwide fame might have looked like an overnight sensation, her path from open mic to the global stage was hard-fought and anything but linear. Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby's growth as a queer person from Tasmania - where homosexuality was illegal until 1997 - to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, to her struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and finally to the backbone of Nanette - the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny and the moral significance of truth-telling. Equal parts harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby's tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.

Dette er 2. del af historien om filmmanden Lau Lauritzen juniors utrolige karriere i dansk film, der strakte sig fra 1929 til 1969. Det er samtidig historien om det filmselskab, som han var med til at skabe - ASA Film. Et væsentligt - men overset - kapitel i den danske filmhistorie.2. del tager sin begyndelse lige efter Danmarks befrielse i 1945, hvor Lau Lauritzen ud over sit virke som filminstruktør, skuespiller og kunstnerisk leder af ASA, også sætter sig i direktørstolen og gradvist får mere at gøre med den økonomiske side af filmproduktionen. Slutningen af 1940'erne var en omskiftelig og økonomisk usikker tid for ASA Film, men i 1950'erne går selskabet en lys tid i møde. Sammen med Henning Karmark producerer ASA en lang række af de populære Morten Korch-film og de mindst lige så folkekære Far til fire-film. Sideløbende lykkes det ASA at holde den kunstneriske fane højt og vinde Bodilprisen for årets bedste danske film i 1948 - "Støt står den danske sømand", 1950 - "Café Paradis", 1951 - "Det sande ansigt", 1953 - "Farlig ungdom" og 1957 - "Bundfald". Det var gode år for ASA, men faren lurede ude i horisonten i form af tv-mediets udbredelse og den medfølgende drastiske nedgang i biografbesøgene.Lau Lauritzen blev fra 1950 også direktør for den store københavnske premierebiograf Kinopalæet. En biograf som han i bogstaveligste forstand byggede op fra en ruin til en blomstrende forretning. Han regnede med at biografen skulle være kronen på hans værk og sikre hans alderdom, men så gik der politik i sagen. ASA og Lau Lauritzen samarbejdede bl.a. med filmproducenterne Henning Karmark, Jens Dennow, Preben Philipsen og Aage Stentoft. Denne bog handler også om disse betydningsfulde bagmænd i dansk film. Hvordan de samarbejdede på kryds og tværs og på et tidspunkt overtog meget store dele af den danske filmbranche. Bogen indeholder desuden detaljerede gennemgange af film som sensationen "Vi vil ha' et barn", den satiriske "Vejrhanen", kriminalfilmen "Taxa K 1640 efterlyses", Nina og Frederik-filmen "Verdens rigeste pige", marinesoldater-kammeraterfilmen "Sømand i knibe", den romantiske komedie "Min kone fra Paris", den sidste problemfilm "Rikki og mændene" og Dirch Passer/Poul Reichhardt-serien om "Mig og min lillebror" m.m.fl. Bøgerne om Lau jun. er 60 års dansk filmhistorie set fra Lau Lauritzens synsvinkel. Denne 2. del dækker perioden fra 1945.
