Title: Different Seasons
First published: 1983
Description: Different Seasons (1982) is a collection of four Stephen King novellas with a more dramatic bend, rather than the horror fiction for which King is famous. The four novellas are tied together via subtitles that relate to each of the four seasons. 

[Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption][1]--the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo.
 
[Apt Pupil][2]--a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism.
 
[The Body][3]--four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods and in sunlight and thunder find life, death, and intimations of their own mortality.
 
[The Breathing Method][4]--a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what.
