FAIR EXTENSION | Deals with the Devil (FULL DARK, NO STARS)

The Stephen Kingdom

Morality, Recession, and Faust . . . oh my!! Welcome to the third novella ("FAIR EXTENSION") in Stephen King's 2010 collection FULL DARK, NO STARS, a classic Deal with the Devil story with a Stephen King twist.

We'll traverse our way through the history of Deal with the Devil stories, beginning with the story of Faust, all the way to the present, where Deal with the Devil stories are alive and well in our popular culture in shows like BREAKING BAD and THE SIMPSONS.

We'll also examines the Recession of 2008, which was when King wrote the novellas in FULL DARK, NO STARS and which heavily informed the themes of class and economic inequality in "FAIR EXTENSION."
