The titular short story takes you back to the world of Holly Gibney and Finders Keepers, in a direct sequel to The Outsider. I really liked The Outsider, mainly because of King’s ability to create and describe a group of interesting characters. If It Bleeds doesn’t succeed in the same way, but it’s nonetheless a cool expansion / exploration of Holly’s personal story and of the outsider universe.

Finished the first novella, Mr Harrigan’s Phone. Solid Stephen King stuff, but it ends quite abruptly and it’s not as scary as it could be. Great trip down memory lane to the period when the first iPhone 📱 came out though!
