Apt Pupil a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism. This novella became the movie Stand By Me.įinally, a disgraced woman is determined to triumph over death in “The Breathing Method.” Different Seasons (1982) is a collection of four novellas, markedly different in tone and subject, each on the theme of a journey. Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo. In “The Body,” four rambunctious young boys plunge through the façade of a small town and come face-to-face with life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. Next is “Apt Pupil,” the inspiration for the film of the same name about top high school student Todd Bowden and his obsession with the dark and deadly past of an older man in town.
